It's the third WRC of the year and the traveling circus has made its way to Croatia for round three.

Following a poor showing at Rally Sweden, Waterford man Craig Breen will be hoping to improve on his most recent outing. Nothing went to plan for Breen in the arctic circle as he crashed out on day one, losing so much time that any hopes of featuring on a podium were squashed from the outset.

Racing is underway near Zagreb from 7.30 am Irish time, where Breen will be the fifth car out.

The year got off to a great start for Breen who climbed the podium at Monte Carlo in his first outing for Ford M-Sport.

This weekend presents a new challenge for teams who will have to plan for an all-tarmac event. Ford run four cars in Croatia with Gus Greensmith, Adrian Fourmaux, and Pierre-Louis Loubet all joining Breen in the Puma.

Having battled the snow and ice in Sweden, Breen should be better placed this weekend with the fast-paced hard surface.

This is Breen's second outing at the Rally Croatia.
