Craig Breen Foundation launched to help aspiring rally drivers
The Craig Breen Foundation has been established in memory of World Rally Championship star Craig Breen, who tragically passed away in an accident during WRC testing in April. Breen was passionate about rallying and inspiring young drivers at the grassroots level. Supported by Hyundai Motorsport, Sports & You, Hyundai Portugal, Hyundai Spain, Motorsport Ireland, and the FIA, the foundation will offer a 35,000 euro prize pool for the J1000 Forestry Series next year, catering to drivers aged 14-17. The foundation has committed to supporting the championship for a minimum of five years. Prizes for drivers in the championship include financial support and funded drives in the Spanish and Portuguese Hyundai i20 Cup with the Sports & You team, where Breen competed in the Portuguese Rally Championship this year. The foundation’s goal is to continue and expand the work started by Breen in developing the path to top-level rallying for young Irish competitors while honoring his memory.
