I think people tend to forget breen was an swrc champion at just 22 and also a wrc academy winner. The potential is very much there if he can continue to develop he may not become a champion but id be fairly sure he could create some fine perfomances and podiums should be acheivable aimQuote:

SWRC was won with Paul Nagle in the year he was still coming to terms with the loss of Jaffa. In a Skoda last year he would've won ERC, instead the 208 let him down repeatedly.Quote:

Britain's round of the World Rally Championship has been cast into doubt along with the rest of Welsh rallying after a deal to use government-owned forests fell through.
The Motor Sport Association and National Resource Wales have been in negotiations for a new master agreement for rallying's use of Welsh forest roads, but NRW is asking
for an increase of over 90 per cent in fees
"Britain's round of the World Rally Championship has been cast into doubt". Meh. I doubt the doubt. They will solve it.
Like everything else the fees will be negotiated and the finalized fee will be lover then the one they've announced now but
higher then the one used in the current agreement.
Hopefully it can get sorted, but this does seem like a very legitimate threat and issue. It's not some hype drummed up by the media. Here's the open letter from the MSA that went out yesterday - https://www.msauk.org/Open-letter-fr...hief-Executive
I imagine it's not a problem for the WRC event. After all, that event is funded by the Welsh Govt - so this money just flows one to the other.
But for the smaller events...
As I said on the British Rallying thread, I'm more bothered about the smaller/ national events - which are the backbone of the sport. RallyGB doesn't have to be held in Wales....
