Breen targets Erc Gravel Masters prize in Cyprus Craig Breen has got his eye on the prize in more ways than one prior to the start of round nine of the FIA European Rally Championship. As well as chasing outright success on the CNP Asfalistiki Cyprus Rally, Breen can win the inaugural ERC Gravel Masters accolade with a strong result in Nicosia. With current leader Ott Tänak not competing in Cyprus, Peugeot Rally Academy-run Breen is the driver in the ascendancy with 108 points compared to the 81 scored by LOTOS Rally Team’s Kajetan Kajetanowicz, Breen’s closest rival for the ERC Gravel Masters. “It would be nice to win a title and get one title out of the way earlier in the season and then focus on the big one,” said Breen. “I think I’ve proved my pace on Tarmac during the season so it would be nice to do so on gravel by winning this award.” Introduced for the 2014 season, the ERC Masters recognises the achievements of surface specialists competing in the European championship. Robert Kubica clinched the ERC Ice Master award in February. Esapekka Lappi heads the ERC Asphalt Master table with two events remaining. Points are awarded on a 10-6-4-2-1 scale to the fastest five ERC drivers on each stage.
