      Most sad thing is that he was one of few natural and true lad in wrc. Majority of nowadays drivers seems like machines. He is in my top list of personalities among McKinley (RIP),Diana,Loeb and Latvalla.

    I grew up watching rallying and fell in love with this sport from a very early age, but somewhere along the line I lost the interest in it... But then came Craig Breen and instantly made a fan and gave me a reason to follow this sport again to be happy and to be frustrated with it...
    But this... I wasn't expecting... No one was. Absolutely devastated with this news.
    My deepest condolences to his family and friends, rest assured he was doing something he loved.

      These cars are the new group B, the development in suspension engineering and applied aerodynamics makes them develop high speeds. But physics imposes its limits and the biology of the human being too, the brain cannot react faster than these cars go. any mistake increases fatality.

    This is a beautiful Tribute.
    There is so many other hidden gems on youtube of Craig, his character shines through in every one and never fails to bring a tear and a smile.
    As an Irishman myself, it's been an honour following his progress over the years. I was so happy he still had a seat in a WRC car this year.
    His first appearance this year in Sweden was such a rollercoaster! I was pissed at the team orders for him to let Thierry through but then at the last moment he ended up finishing ahead anyway! Sure it wasn't how he'd have like to secure 2nd but still, I couldn't have been happier for him. I was jumping and shouting in celebration when they said he'd finished 2nd! 😁 His pure joy in the post stage interviews was so infectious. I'm grateful he went to Croatia after such an uplifting performance in Sweden, he must have been buzzing putting his foot down when he started tests there and from the clips I've seen he was absolutely on it! Purely in his element ☺
    Every event he was in he openly put his very soul into. The death of his friend and co-driver Gareth Roberts in 2012, in eerily similar circumstances, must have been a heavy burden for him to carry these last 10+ years and to still push on with such a positive, humble outlook and get as far as he did speaks volumes about the man.
    He brought us all along for the ride, through the ups and downs, he expressed himself in way that shared and connected us to the struggle, despair, determination and ultimately elation that comes with a seat on the world stage in a way that no other driver ever has in my opinion. Every time, his passion reminded me why I love this sport so much and to die doing what you love is a life fulfilled, however short.

    He's a treasure to Ireland, a treasure to rally, a treasure and example to us all.
    My condolences to all his friends and family ❤‍🩹
    Rally In Peace Craig Breen and Gareth Roberts. Ye're undoubtedly reunited now on the most special stage of all.

Both were incredible rallying talents and the sport has claimed both their lives. I only met Craig once, at Gareth’s funeral, and he came over as a very genuine bloke - his prowess behind the wheel of a rally car was undeniable. A huge loss to the sport and my thoughts are with his family, friends and the Team. Gone too soon. R.I.P Craig.

      Es un hecho Triste, no caben dudas que además de ser un gran piloto era una persona de oro. Mira, yo dejé de ver rally aproximadamente en 2012/13. Cuando pasaron a los wrc de motores 1600CC turbo.
      Luego cuando vi estos autos de nueva generación y la velocidad que llevan, como doblan, vuelan estables etc dije madre mía, lo que es la ingeniería. Solo con ver videos de rallys es Asfalto de los wrc de los años 1993/2010 y estos nuevos autos ves que la velocidad es asombrosamente mayor.
      No quiero se aguafiestas pero estos autos son peligrosos. Cualquier accidente a esas velocidades tiene un alto porcentaje de fatalidad. Peso a las avanzadas medidas de seguridad. Creo que los pilotos van al límite de lo humanamente manejable.
      Cuando vi estos autos presenti que se venían accidentes graves. Y si no vuelven a quitar la aerodinámica y ciertos desarrollos aquí tendremos más accidentes desafortunados. Solo es cuestión de ver la velocidad que llevan. El rally no es automovilismo de pista. A centimetros tienes árboles, precipicios, acantilados etc.
      Ojalá la FIA pueda ver esto y tomar cartas en el asunto. Esperar más muertos para ello sería una negligencia.
