Craig Breen

I am not sure if I understand your point; i was asking this bcs there are some conflicting reports/speculations. I assume some kind of official report, after investigation would be released.

I guess I had misunderstood you, also. I respect your desire to clarify any conflicting information, but it came across a bit like 'does anyone know what really happened' sort of thing.

As much as he was a high profile figure, I'm not sure if there would be an inquest / report into a single-vehicle road collision. We'll see, I guess. If there is one, fair enough if it's public knowledge.

To be honest, I don't want to know the specifics - others may do, that's up to them, but it's not something I'd be in a hurry to read.

They are still working on this car:

See, again, normally it would be interesting to have a bit of a look behind the scenes at a manufacturer team, but in this case it feels distasteful.

Sort of like 'look, we showed you first!!!' in a situation when it would be far more respectful to wait until it's done and the team can present it.

There are some things that just don't need to be in the public domain. Even if it is widely known, I would hope it wouldn't be shared on here.

That strategy isn´t good. It gives room for even more rumours which will never help in any case.
And things can be told and put in a way without being too specific.

Sides are still undone on this picture.

Just for you...

Really beautiful lyrics... I'll write them on my Hyundai flag...
Still can't believe...

Statement from Hyundai Motorsport Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul

Craig was laid to rest yesterday and it’s been a very emotional time for all of us.
April 19, 2023.

Emotions are still raw and there has been an amazing outpouring of grief for Craig, who was an incredible person to know, as a team-mate, competitor and friend.

Regarding the accident, we can say that Craig was participating in the pre-event test in Croatia. Road conditions were slippery and the car slid off the road at a relatively low speed and made contact with a wooden fence. A post from this fence intruded into the cabin through the driver’s side window.

The stage was closed immediately and the on stage medical team was rapidly on the scene.

We must mention that James Fulton was unhurt in the crash and our hearts go out to him. We are doing everything we can to support James at this time.

Craig was taken to hospital from the stage. As far as can be determined, Craig’s passing was instantaneous.

I think this is all we need to know.

[Destra quattro]

I think this is all we need to know.

Agree...

I think this is all we need to know.

Doesn't make it any better, my only hope is if there's something to take from the accident they will, apart from that I'll try to keep my eyes dry this weekend...
