Craig Breen gets 'golden ticket' with full-time drive in World Rally Championship

Waterford star Breen said: "To add my name to the list of drivers that have driven for Ford is a bit surreal, drivers like Ari Vatanen, Hannu Mikkola, Colin McRae, and Carlos Sainz.”

Irish rally driver Craig Breen will have his first full-time drive in the World Rally Championship after signing for the M-Sport Ford World Rally team where he will head their attack on the 2022 and 2023 FIA World Rally Championship. 

The Waterford ace and his Killarney co-driver Paul Nagle will compete in the all-new M-Sport Ford Puma Hybrid Rally1 car that will usher in a new era within the WRC.
