RIP Craig Breen, so hard to take it that you’re gone. You’re be sorely missed in Waterford and Ireland tonight . Gone at 33 years of age, far too soon.

Today has been a tough day.#CB42 Your hero was also mine & 30yrs after Frank blasted that Sierra up Molls Gap you did too. It made me soo happy to hear the Sierra “given the beans” like that you’ll never know.

I was very fortunate to see Breen compete in the early stages of his career. He may be gone, but his legacy will always continue across Irish Motorsport. #CraigBreen #WRC #irishrallying pic.twitter.com/W8AbR1ipym
All I can think about right now is this smile.

Fun times, laughter, tears and now you're reuniting with Jaffa. You have left us all feeling empty lad. RIP Craig Breen. pic.twitter.com/PxSJ54ML5Z
I don’t think there was a dry eye in the rally world then, and I don’t think there will be any now. Rest in peace, Craig Breen. pic.twitter.com/tRtI2hJipt
