“Craig was the epitome of what rallying is in every element of his life; from his camaraderie on event, to his passion for nurturing the next generation of talent in his native Ireland, everyone can pinpoint something about him that impacted them positively. We are honoured to have been a small part of his life, and I can speak for the whole team when I say that we will do all we can to help his memory live on.”
Hyundai WRC sporting director Andrew Wheatley added: “It’s evident that everyone in the Service Park has been touched by the generosity, sincerity and good humour of Craig, and that we all miss his presence.
“These special liveries are just a small way the team can pay tribute to him, especially here at Croatia Rally. I have been around the WRC for a long time, so it’s not lost on me the effects Craig’s passing has had, and through our own initiatives and those of the Craig Breen Foundation, it’s crucial that we all do what we can to remember him.”
Thierry Neuville, Adrien Fourmaux and Hayden Paddon will run the special livery on their cars this week.
