Well that just threw a spanner in the works for Hyundai breen deserves it

Team Thierry. What a balls.

Edit. Breen just beat Neuville on the PS to finish in second overall. Lol

And with Rovanpera only 6.4 behind Breen, can’t imagine Hyundai would want to drop manufacture points.

Given Craig’s target is for a full time seat next year, consistently beating Lappi has got to be his target this year (along with that maiden win)

Thierry still trying to sneak into second place on the podium

 

[cauld1]

Silly from Hyundai there, but not surprising to try and bump their No.1 driver (who's doing a full season) up the results all the same!

Highlights on ITV4 and ITV4 HD on Tuesday 14th February at 8pm.

Red Bull TV tonight at 9pm, usually, for today’s highlights.

Two great lads, and well deserved.

For my first few events, it was Liam who stepped in with the loan of his spare helmet, allowing me the chance to live the dream in the silly seat.

He's a very talented driver, but has been paramount to working with young drivers, getting them up to speed. A dedicated navigator that deserves every medal.

WRC Mexico coming up, who can forget Kris Meeke and his car park stunt? can still remember watching it live on tv and not believing what i was seeing. i loved kris meeke as it was never boring when he was on stage.

No words at all. Will be a massive loss to rallying here and abroad

 

[cauld1]

That's a big shock, very sad news.

 

[PaulYDP]

What absolutely awful news that is, can't believe it at all. Massive loss to rallying here and abroad. Thoughts with all his family and friends

 

[DC.]

Unbelievable. In absolute shock.

His mate Jaffa will be waiting for him.

R.I.P. Craig.

 

[Crow555]

Absolutely devastating news. I have been a fan of his for years and was over the moon for him to get a seat in the WRC.

 

[fergalmagee]

Lost for words.

 

[gpaevo]

Unbelievable,

 

[jagged]

Devastating news , always showed how much he loved his job.
Will be missed . Only the good die young.

 

[cormac81]

Unbelievable.

 

[FM155]

Completely devastating, awful for his family and friends.
Such a bright, positive and energetic young man, a huge loss to rallying in Ireland.

it goes to show when your time is up its up, unreal.
quote from someone on twitter
(Hyundai Motorsport driver Craig Breen has been killed in a testing accident ahead of next week’s Croatia Rally. The Irishman went off the road. The front-left of the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 collided with a pole fatally injuring the 33-year-old. RIP Craig)

 

[NIXR2]

Gutted! An absolute gentleman of the sport. He was having the time of his life!!

Hopefully he didn't know anything about it. Been to many an RTC with cabin breaches and it's horrendous

 

[FM155]

Was just thinking that Frank Meagher was his hero and died in a testing accident too unfortunately.
Be interesting to see if this has implications for the rally1 cars too, I know there is a good safety cell in them but it's not a full steel shell outside that.

 

[S2K-Aaron]

Brutal. Such a Genuine fella and mighty craic even back in his Early Karting day's. His Passion and Talent got him to the very top.

R.I.P Craig
