Busy Breen has sights on Latvia victory

Waterford’s Craig Breen is one of the favourites to land this season’s European Rally Championship title and is top seed for tomorrow’s Rally Liepaja event in Latvia using a Peugeot 207 S2000.

It is a busy 10-day period for Breen, who turns 24 on Sunday, and he will compete in next week’s round of the WRC, Rally Sweden, where he will drive a Ford Fiesta WRC. This should be his last outing in the S2000 car as he is set to debut the T16 on the Circuit of Ireland.

Amongst those standing in the way of a Breen victory in Latvia are Bryan Bouffier in the PH Sport Citroen DS3 RRC (Regional Rally Car), Esapekka Lappi (Skoda Fabia S2000) and Vasily Gryazin (Ford Fiesta S2000).
