Monte a possibility for Breen

Craig Breen has decided to place entry the 100^th running of the Rallye Monte Carlo in January of next year.

“At the moment we’ve put an entry in but that’s all. It’s an event I’ve always wanted to do but I don’t know if it will be something we do next season. We’ll have to see.”

However, the 20-year-old from Co.Waterford says that nothing is confirmed, but if he did enter the event, he would probably use his usual Fiesta S2000.

Breen used the new car to great effect in the Irish Tarmac Rally Championship, scoring second in the final drivers standings, scoring three Group N wins. He has competed further a field in the Fiesta S2000, competing in some British Championship events, winning on the Ulster Rally, and he competed on Rally Finland and Wales Rally GB, finishing 12^th and 19^th, respectively. In Wales, he finished second behind Skoda UK driver-to-be Andreas Mikkelsen, and ahead of S-WRC Champion Xevi Pons.

Breen has never driven on the event competitively, but has been part of Daniel Barry’s ice-note crew on this year’s Rallye Monte Carlo.
