Competing in Croatia less than a week following Craig Breen’s shock passing was always going to be incredibly difficult. But the World Rally Championship should be proud of its fitting tribute and celebration of one of its most loved characters.

But it was decided after careful consideration that the show would go on, as that is what Craig, the most passionate of rally fans, would have wanted. Competition was secondary and as the drivers explained, “we are driving for Craig”.
