The WRC star that's earned the right to lead M-Sport's revival
Part-time opportunities with Citroen and Hyundai have offered brief glimpses of what Craig Breen can do in a World Rally Championship car. Now signed up by M-Sport to lead it into the WRC's new hybrid era, Breen has been given the chance he's pursued for so long and is determined to make the most of it
It's hard to find anyone as excited for the 2022 World Rally Championship as Craig Breen.
After 13 years of working his way up the rally ladder, the 31-year-old has finally landed his first full-time WRC campaign courtesy of a two-year deal to spearhead M-Sport Ford's charge into the new Rally1 hybrid era. Quite simply for the Irishman, known for wearing his heart on his sleeve and an unbridled joy for rallying whatever the car he finds himself in, driving up to the start ramp at Monte Carlo is the realisation of a dream.
