📣 Craig Breen Foundation - Press Release #2

The Craig Breen Foundation was delighted to support the 2023 Junior 1000 Irish Forestry Champion Tommy Moffett, who visited John Haugland's Rally School. This was part of a prize that Craig had already pledged before his passing & that his foundation will now continue to support.

📣 Announcement 📣

YES! Been wanting to see this for years after hearing so much about it. This is the road that we still use to this present day, Newcastle on the Tipp/Waterford border, a Circuit of Ireland stage of yesteryear. Looks slightly different now, please tell me there is more?!

Say what you want, cameras from that period making it look faster etc etc.. It’s absolute bananas in any era, the definition of commitment. So glad I was around to see this for real as a kid!

To be back battling at the front of the the #WRC has been an absolutely brilliant feeling. With 1 stage left to run we can be very proud of what we have achieved. Massive thanks to the team for their faith in us & James for a faultless job.

Let’s get over the finish & spray 🍾

Not a bad opening to the day. I was a bit too hesitant in places, I still tried to be as committed as possible but we got through cleanly with no mistakes, that’s very important. 😁

We really didn’t need that… 🫣 We had a tyre delamination on a straight. The split times were looking really promising for another fastest time, but it wasn’t to be. Somehow we still hold the lead, but now by only 0.5 of a second…

After SS13
1) BREEN 🇮🇪
2) Tänak 🇪🇪 + 0.5

Another fastest time to extend our lead to 5.7 seconds! Doing 200kph through the forest, it’s what dreams are made of. I’m just making the most of it and trying to preserve the studs.

1) BREEN 🇮🇪
2) Tänak 🇪🇪 + 5.7
