In the book Icons of Irish Rallying (2020), Craig Breen wrote how his father Ray bought first Metro when Craig was five and he got hooked by the looks and especially by the sound of the machine. In 2018 6R4 returned to his father's garage. By the end of 2018 Breen's contract with Citroën was discontinued so he was out of WRC drive after Rally Australia. His sister lived in Australia and he wrote that it was common for him to stay at her sister's home after the Australian event. That year he needed it more than before. His father was there also, seeing his son in a difficult period, and he suggested to Craig that what about doing a rally with 6R4, knowing his son loved that car. No pressure, having fun, a kind refreshing the love for rallying kind of thing. Craig called Paul Nagle on the spot and asked what would it take to arrange a 00 car spot on Killarney historics and Paul was on it from the go. A few days later everything was arranged.
"If only the camera in the car was pointing towards our faces as we made our way up the stage (Molls Gap), I was smiling from ear to ear. Not just for the emotions of being back in a 6R4, but being home."

We know how in 2019 Craig and Paul drove in Ireland and drove several events here and there, winning everything. It was really about getting back in the good mood. In June 2019 Hyundai had made the offer for Craig and Paul to drive in Rally Finland with them and so Craig was back in the top of the sport.Photos: rallirinki.kuvat.fi | Twitter: @HartusvuoriWRC

Nonsense indeed when you even yourself admit they cite other publications… I wish them well but at the moment I don’t see them adding any value writing the same articles Anyway. Off topic ...
