    yep... Breen is the quicker of the two but he is also more likely to make a major mistake. Best of luck to both Irishmen !

    The Irish boys still doing well. Great to see some young Irish talent doing well on the World stage in motor sport.

    Breens had some gearbox issues on stage 3 and 4. Should be changed during service before 5

    WRC Academy

    Well Craig Breen went out of the rally with a lead of a minute when he misheard a pace note and stuck it in the ditch. He tried to get going again but could not get the car out. Alistair Fisher inherited the lead but through it away on the following stage (SS12) when he rolled the car off the road and into a tree, both driver and co-driver were okay and got going again but lost over five minutes with the off and finished the rally in fifth position. In the end Estonia's Egon Kaur won the inaugural round of the FIA WRC Academy. Breen took away five points for his five stage wins and Fisher bagged twelve points for his fifth place and two stage wins.

    Three different winners to the first 3 rallies.

    Looks like it could be a competitve championship this year and not another easy win for Loeb.

    I have to believe that Ford will get their car in fast and reliable shape, otherwise WRC doesn't make much sense really with those time differences as they are now!
