In memory of the terrible accident that killed Craig Breen, Hyundai will run with a special livery. Hyundai team boss Cyril Abiteboul has announced this. The cars will be dressed in green, white and orange to honour Breen's Irish roots.
"It was clear from the feedback from all involved, and from Breen's family and friends, that Craig's competitive spirit would have wanted the rally to go ahead this weekend and for his teammates to participate," Abiteboul said in a statement to the media.
Breen's Irish roots
The two i20s entered this weekend for Thierry Neuville and Esapekka Lappi are adorned in the colours of the Irish flag. "We thought long and hard about how to do this and how best to honour Craig. That is why we are entering two cars, both with a special livery to honour Craig, his Irish roots and his beloved Irish rallying community," said the French team boss.
"Craig was a great person and so are his family and friends. The rally community really worked together and it is a sign of the high regard Craig enjoyed," Abiteboul added.
