great rally at the weekend very close fight with hirvonen and loeb no surprise that loeb won but only by a few seconds over hirvonen, he really was having to push very hard to stay first .jarri matti latvala was third with peter solberg in fourth .

craig breen had an emotional rally that ended prematurely when he had a big off from first position great to see him back on form and rip to gareth :icon_sad:

was on the phone to craig earlier this morning,

heart goes out to the lad, 2 stages to go with 14 seconds ahead, playing a blinder on the hardest rally of his life considering the circumstances and then to see what happened was unbelievable :icon_cry:

least everyone was ok this time round :pray:

stay strong craig :thumbsup:
 
ye agree with ya definitely the hardest rally ever to do for him but i think {this might sound weird but bear with me}it was nearly good that he had a big off from the lead just to see that gareth {rip} was just a freak accident and nothing he did wrong ,i think he will be stronger for it the chap has serious potential and it would be a shame to see a talent like his not fullfiled over an accident, that might sound a bit calis toward gareth {rip}its definitely not meant to make light of his death but i do believe craig breen has the potential to be a world champion in wrc he is the only driver to come out of ireland that has that potential.it was great neither of them were hurt hope his next rally is a win and good luck to him in the future :thumbsup:
 
i see what your saying alright, i agree. like what happened in june, we spent hours talking to him but obviously no words can help in a situation like that. actions speak louder than words and maybe that big off on saturday were the words he needed. i must say a huge credit to the Roberts family especially Gareths brother Dai in helping with Craigs come back and a wrc tittle is only a matter of time.
 
they must be a very strong family and have huge respect for craig to put aside there lose and support his return they can obviously see the potential he has and they probably know gareth would have want him to continue
 
I saw him in Lahti before SS1 and we gave him the :icon_pray: and as large a cheer as we could. He was very emotional in the interview afterwards and was thanking all the support he got to help him continue and get back in the saddle. Well done to him and a pitty he went out.

Hats off to Ken Block, himself and Loeb had the neatest lines on the series of corners we were on :thumbsup:
