New Spirit of Rallying award created to honour WRC star Craig Breen
The ‘Craig Breen Spirit of Rallying Award’ will be given to the JWRC driver who best reflects Breen’s characteristics of perseverance, determination, and positivity throughout the season. Craig Breen, a beloved figure in rallying, tragically passed away last April but continues to inspire with his legacy as a former JWRC champion and successful WRC driver. The announcement of the award comes just before the new JWRC season begins, featuring a record-breaking 19-car lineup for the opening round in Sweden. The award will be decided by an independent panel and presented after the final JWRC round at the Acropolis Rally in September. Rally Sweden organizers will also pay tribute to Breen by renaming the Brattby stage in his honor, acknowledging his remarkable achievements in the sport.
