It was all on nothing for Craig Breen and co-driver Scott Martin in the Peugeot T16 as the final day of the Monte Carlo Rally kicked off and the excitement was palpable.


Breen was lying in fifth place after the Saturday stages and it was going to be a battle between Craig, Eric Camilli and Martin Koci to catch second placed Armin Kremer in the hope of stealing his position.

French driver Stéphane Lefebvre was the leader from the start and took the laurels. Camilli drew first blood on the opening stage of the final day with Craig just over four seconds in arrears but on the next stage everything turned on its head when not only did the Peugeot Rally Academy pair blitz the time sheets to catch and pass Kremer by one second as Camilli and Koci had cracked under pressure and put themselves out of the fight.

Craig cemented his position by going fastest again on the final stage to take his first podium this year and with it eighteen valuable championship points. Craig and Scott now return to their Peugeot Rally Academy duties in the FIA European Rally Championship where they move on to round two in Latvia.
