Victory vital for Breen in European Rally Championship

With a deficit of 62 points in the European Rally Championship bid, Waterford’s Craig Breen really needs to win this weekend’s Acropolis Rally, the penultimate round of the series.

Twelve months ago the Peugeot Rally Academy driver netted a maiden win for himself and the Peugeot 208 T16 on the Acropolis. This season, the former Billy Coleman award winner made a dream start to the ERC and won three events in succession including the Circuit of Ireland. However, he has been out of luck on most of the events in recent times with the car’s reliability, for the most part, proving to be his downfall.

He didn’t compete in the last round in Cyprus a few weeks ago but did have an outing in the Tour de Corse round of the World Rally Championship last week.
