Breen back in business on Rally Liepāja-Ventspils

Craig Breen is back in business on Rally Liepāja-Ventspils after the problem that struck on stage 12 was traced to a broken wire.

With the fault rectified by his Peugeot Rally Academy-Saintéloc team during the 15-minute remote service halt in Kuldīga, Breen is on his way to the Swecon stage, which runs for a second time at 12:05hrs local time.

“It looks like they’ve solved the problem,” Breen told ERC Rally Radio’s Chris Rawes. “It was a problem with a broken wire, which was obvious when they took the airbox off.”

Breen and co-driver David Moynihan will tackle the final loop of three stages with a new set of Michelin Ice North tyres fitted to their Peugeot 207 Super 2000. The Irishmen are 19.5s adrift of leading Finns Jari Ketomaa and Kaj Lindström on round two of the FIA European Rally Championship.
