Irishman James Fulton says that he is “ready to return” to the FIA World Rally Championship following the sudden death of his close friend and Hyundai Motorsport team-mate Craig Breen.

Kris Meeke has been called up to the Team Hyundai Portugal squad for this weekend’s Rali Terras d’Aboboreira to “carry on the legacy” of his late friend and former colleague, Craig Breen. 

Elfyn Evans says he was left with “pretty mixed emotions” following his Croatia Rally victory at the weekend – an event that was overshadowed by the death of fellow competitor and friend Craig Breen during a testing accident earlier this month.

Craig Breen’s death as the result of a testing accident in the build-up to this weekend’s Croatia Rally was “instantaneous”, the Team Principal of Hyundai Motorsport has said.  

Eight-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Ogier insists his winning mentality has not changed despite only partaking in a partial programme with Toyota Gazoo Racing this year.

Hyundai Motorsport has confirmed that Craig Breen has lost his life during a pre-event test for Croatia Rally.

World Rally Championship veteran Dani Sordo says a top-three finish on his return to Rally Mexico this week is the “minimum” goal he is chasing alongside navigator and countryman, Candido Carrera.

New Hyundai Motorsport recruit Craig Breen says he is keeping his expectations firmly in check ahead of his return to World Rally Championship action in snowy Sweden next week.

Craig Breen says the priority this year is to rediscover his love of rallying and competing at the sharp end of the World Rally Championship after returning to the Hyundai Motorsport squad for 2023.

New Hyundai Motorsport recruit Esapekka Lappi reckons he is ahead of the curve with the new I20 N Rally1 car as the clock counts down to the start of the 2023 FIA World Rally Championship. 

Craig Breen looks set to contest less than half of the rounds that make up next season’s FIA World Rally Championship calendar following comments made by his Hyundai team-mate, Dani Sordo.

Craig Breen insists agreeing to a partial programme in the 2023 FIA World Rally Championship should not be viewed as a backward step – but rather a chance for him to hit the rest button on his career.

Thierry Neuville believes the shrewd business Hyundai Motorsport bosses have performed in the driver market should help give the team “renewed impetus” to fight on all fronts next season.

Hyundai Motorsport has announced its new-look driver line-up for next season’s World Rally Championship, with Esapekka Lappi and Craig Breen agreeing personal terms to join its ranks.

Craig Breen has left the M-Sport Ford World Rally Championship team just one year into his two-year contract, saying he believes the decision to be the right one for all parties.

Craig Breen’s shunt on the opening day of Rally Japan is “frustrating” but one that has already been forgotten about, according to M-Sport Ford Team Principal Richard Millener.

With two World Rally Championship rounds remaining, Craig Breen says the objective couldn’t be any simpler: try to get the rub of the green and end the year on something of a high note.

Irishman Craig Breen says the thought of not having Paul Nagle sitting alongside him beyond this month’s Rally Spain will be “strange”.

On a day that produced plenty of drama and no fewer than three different leaders, it was Ott Tanak who ended the Friday leg of Repco Rally New Zealand at the top of the time sheets.

World Rally Championship leader Kalle Rovanpera threw down the gauntlet to his Rally1 rivals on the short Repco Rally New Zealand shakedown stage.

Bosses at Hyundai Motorsport resorted to deploying team tactics on the final day of Acropolis Rally in Greece to ensure Thierry Neuville led home its first 1-2-3 finish in the World Rally Championship.

The retirement of Sebastien Loeb, and a puncture that robbed his M-Sport Ford team-mate Pierre-Louis Loubet of second spot, has gifted the Acropolis Rally lead to a hard-charging Thierry Neuville.

Three-time Acropolis Rally winner Sebastien Loeb snatched top spot on the closing Friday stage and, in the process, denied M-Sport Ford team-mate Pierre-Louis Loubet the chance to hold the overnight lead for the first time in his career.

Ott Tanak enjoyed his first shakedown stage win of the 2022 World Rally Championship campaign, while the involvement of nine-time champion Sebastien Loeb was curtailed by an engine misfire.
