Watch Craig Breen drive a Group B car like a man possessed.
, the Irish WRC driver who was killed in testing yesterday, was many things. Among them, he was a rally scholar. The funny thing about a surprsing number of top-tier racing drivers is that they aren't really fans of the sport—they don't know much about the history, and they don't race just for fun outside of the season. For Breen, this wasn't the case.
The 6R4 was not the most successful car in the WRC, but it's special all the same, with its mid-mounted naturally aspirated V-6, all-wheel drive, and enormous fender flares. Back in 2018, Breen ran the 6R4 in the Historic Rally Killarney, strapping on a helmet camera for the famous Moll's Gap stage to give us a taste of the experience.
Riding alongside Breen is Paul Nagle, who became the Irishman’s longtime co-driver after the death of his previous co-driver and best friend Gareth Roberts. Nagle retired last year.
