Breen Jumps Back into the S2000 for the Rock

Craig Breen has his third foray on Tarmac this year, next weekend as the Irish takes on his home event, the Ravens Rock Rally.

After using both the Jim Clark International Rally (BRC) and the Rallye du Linousin as tarmac test sessions in his R2 Ford Fiesta, Craig has decided to knock the cobwebs of his Ford Fiesta S2000 for this event. The last outing that Craig used the car on Irish Tarmac brought him success when at the Cork 20 International last October he clenched third overall on the event and second overall in the Irish Tarmac Championship. Craig is looking forward to the rally as it's his first time to compete in the "Rock". "I'm counting down the days", said Craig as he prepares for the event, "All my non WRC Academy events this year to date have all been test sessions for the Academy itself but as the Ravens Rock fits into my schedule this year I want to take it on and using the S2000 gives me the best opportunity to take top honors next Sunday. Last season I debuted the S2000 on Irish soil and also gave the car it's madden win on the International Rally Northern Ireland, it would be nice to now also add a madden win on a National Championship round.

The rally takes place next Sunday and is based in Kilkenny City, with the nine event stages located to the South and East of the City. There's a ceremonial start on Saturday evening, starting at 7pm in High Street (Kilkenny City), where Craig with the S2000 will be just one of the main attractions.
