Craig to rock home event

Having recently announced two more outings this year in the World Rally Championship, Waterford’s very own international rally star Craig Breen will compete on the Carrick on Suir Motor Club’s flagship event the Ravens Rock Rally this weekend.

On a summer break from his FIA ERC duties behind the wheel of a Peugeot 208 T16, the Peugeot Rally Academy driver will use the event to acclimatise himself to the unfamiliar Fiesta “World Rally Car” on tarmac ahead of WRC Rallye Deutschland in August.

Craig, already a former winner of the rally in 2011, achieved success that time on his way to lifting the WRC Academy (Junior World Championship) title later on that year. Irish Rallying is a World renowned proving ground for cars and drivers alike and this will not only be a great opportunity for Craig to set-up the car but it will also be a rare opportunity for fans to see Craig compete so close to home.

The rally takes place next Saturday and Sunday June 28 - 29 and is based at Dooley's Hotel in Waterford City, with a compact route of ten stages that are all located within easy reach but before the first stage on the outskirts of the City on Saturday evening there will a ceremonial start at 6.30pm in John Roberts Square, where Craig and the car will be just one of the main attractions.
