Breen out to unsettle Andersson at home

World Rally S2000 Championship leader Craig Breen (Ford Fiesta S2000) seeks to consolidate his position in Rally Sweden, which gets under way in earnest this morning.

The Waterford driver made the perfect start in last month’s Monte Carlo event — and although he crashed out of a shakedown event in Norway last Saturday, he believes it was an important test.

“Brushing up on my snow and ice driving was important, getting used to grip levels and just driving in what is called ‘white out’, where the roads and ditches are totally covered in snow, takes time to adjust,” he said.
