Breen and Scott achieve target

Craig Breen and Scott Martin (pictured) finished fifth in their Citroen C3 WRC, meeting the target set for them at this year’s Rally Sweden. 

Meanwhile, Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle put their first points on the board by finishing fourth in the Power Stage, whilst also ensuring bothCitroen Total Abu Dhabi WRT cars scored points in the manufacturers’ championship.

Last but not least, Stephane Lefebvre and Gavin Moreau concluded a promising weekend in eight place.

The final leg of Rally Sweden on Monday resembled something of a sprint finish with three stages covering less than 60km. After two runs on Likenas, the event concluded with Torsby 2, also serving as the Power Stage.

After pulling themselves into the top five on day two, Craig Breen and Scott Martin’s aim was to hold onto this position. At the end of the Power Stage, Breen was satisfied he had met the target set for him by the team before the start. Thanks to two fifth-place finishes in Monte-Carlo and now Sweden, the Irishman stays in the same position in the Drivers’ World championship.

At Rally Mexico (9-12 March), Citroen Total Abu Dhabi WRT will be entering two C3 WRCs for Kris Meeke / Paul Nagle and Stephane Lefebvre / Gabin Moreau.
