“We had a great couple of seasons there from 2019 to the end of 2021, so it was a no-brainer when the opportunity came around.' 💬 Craig Breen says his return to Hyundai's OfficialWRC squad is a 'forward step' in his career ⬇️
The Irishman has returned to the South Korean marque in the role he held from 2019-2021, sharing the third i20 N with Dani Sordo.
While Breen is set to compete only a partial season this year, the 32-year-old believes returning to Hyundai is the right move for his career. “It is something fresh and I’m looking forward to getting the whole thing under way again. I just want to get back on form again and get some good results. It was difficult to be off the podium so many times last year, so I want to get back on form again.”
Breen says the success he had driving for Hyundai from 2019-2021, which yielded four podiums from nine WRC events, including three second place finishes, was key in deciding to return to Hyundai.Photo by: Fabien Dufour / Hyundai Motorsport "There was [talk of a full-time drive] initially but then obviously things changed, the great swings and roundabouts of the driver market, things changed towards the latter stages.
Breen is expected to jump in the third car for the first time at Rally Sweden following confirmation that Sordo will occupy the third car at the Monte Carlo season opener next week.Monte Carlo Rally organisers have today announced the official entry list for the WRC season opener which revealed world champion Kalle Rovanpera has elected against running #1 on his Toyota GR Yaris for his title defence.
