  • Craig Breen's Rally Sweden 2023 is a story that will live long in the memory. One year on, we thought it was right to tell that story in its full context.
    Colin Clark takes you on a journey through the Swedish forests, reflecting on that incredible weekend 12 months ago. This is the legend of Craig Breen, the mayor of Brattby.

    I remember watching the battle live. Although I'm an Estonian i was sort of disappointed when Tänak took the lead at 2023 Rally Sweden. Craig was in the zone and the joy in his eyes in every interview that rally was so pure. It was so refreshing to see that after rough couple of seasons. And in an unfamiliar car too, my mind was 🤯.
    It was devastating to hear about the accident.
    RIP Craig Breen❤😢

    That family bit totally got me 💔. That feeling of happiness they were feeling of his success and knowing how they must have felt after everything, just horrible.
    Wish you were still here to show your talent on and off the stage. 🕊️

    I'm not crying, you're crying. Really thought that first win was on the cards for him.
    "It's the mad hatter's tea party and we're all invited."
    A personality and a character that can't be replicated. Thank you, DirtFish.

      For the Belgian rally community too. We saw him several times at our rally’s where he was always attacking at a high level. And such a friendly guy, a real Irish man. You guys can be proud on such a sportsman and amazing person. We think about you folks 🇨🇮🇧🇪

    I have been through the mill this week. Burying an uncle, spitting up with the love of my life, dealing with parents who are both 90+. Maybe it's a culmination of grief and hurt, but I honestly think that Craig was the epitome of Irish rallying and Irish stoicism as a whole.
    I was drawn to tears watching this, so I thank you DirtFish for making the time and space to remember a proper, decent, real, honest, paddy legend! ❤

    Amazing tribute, just beautiful. Craig was an amazing driver and clearly a great person. Greatly missed. And this was one off, if not his very best drive. I'm sure the name Brattby will remain a part of the rallying folklore for many, many years.
    As a side note, I just found out one of the typical blue IKEA bags is also called Brattby! I can imagine Craig putting it on his head and pronouncing himself the King of Brattby :D

Boy does the rally community and particularly the Irish Rally Community miss this legend. A fitting tribute to the Mayor of Brattby. #CB42🇮🇪

    Thank you for this beautiful storytelling. I spent last night looking at all of the clips of Craig I could find to relive last year’s magic and to wake up to this video is a true treat. Craig was quickly becoming a favorite of mine. His passion is something I admire and I frequently find inspiration in his words, demeanor, and positivity.

    The "dont let anyone put you down..." phrase is very strong, and i helped one certain non-rally person, using exactly craigs words, to get back on track, and now "she's on rails". There is something about this text that makes you raise you head up even if one doesnt know the background. Great driver, but also great mentality
