Letterkenny youngster James McShea (16) and Cavan ace Kyle Drury (15) who this week travel to Norway thanks to the Craig Breen Foundation prize package for 2026.
James McShea secured the J1000 title on the closing round of the Irish Forest Rally Championship season, and as a result will receive a funding package for 2026, a driver tuition course in Norway this week and a Pacenote tuition course with 5-Time WRC event winner Paul Nagle.
By winning the ultimate feeder series in Irish Rallying, McShea has the added bonus of a trip to Portugal to work alongside Sports&You and test a Hyundai i20 Cup car later in the year.
The Craig Breen Foundation was launched in 2024 to continue the legacy that Craig began by creating a Prize Package for young rally drivers between 14-18 competing within the Junior 1000 class. The foundation, along with their partners, have given a five-year commitment to supporting the development of future rally stars.
Both James & Kyle travel to Norway on Wednesday to attend the John Haugland Winter Rally School.
