Several months after his codriver Gareth Roberts was killed in a tragic accident that happened during a round of the IRC series, Craig Breen secured the world title in the S2000 category of the World Rally Championship.
Breen, who drove a Ford Fiesta S2000 this season captured victory in S2000 at the recent Rally of Spain to take a second world title.
Last year, the Irish driver took the title in WRC Academy class alongside codriver Gareth Roberts.
But Gareth Roberts lost his life in a rally crash at the Targa Florio, a round of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. Roberts was replaced by Paul Nagle alongside Breen several months later.
Next season, Breen is set to drive a Ford Fiesta WRC.
