The new Peugeot 208 Active 1.4 HDi is the perfect partner to the racing Kerryman. The stylish new Peugeot 208 is currently Irish Small Car of the Year 2013 and accounts for 7.6% of the small car segment, year to date. Craig Breen has been proudly driving his Peugeot 208 as Peugeot Brand Ambassador since earlier this year.
Paul recently landed the new Peugeot Sport Factory Rally Driver co-driver position and was selected to train at the new Peugeot Sport Rally Academy. He has been working with Craig Breen and the duo has comfortably secured three 2nd places and a 3rd place in the current ERC contest. They will race in eight European Rally Championship events this year. Their next event, the GEKO Ypres rally in Belgium takes place on 27 – 29th June.
When not competing, Craig is leading an intensive test programme for the newly named Peugeot 208 T16, destined for the ERC scene in late 2013 and no doubt Paul will take his place by his side.
On the announcement, Paul Nagle said, “Craig and I are both so excited to work with a manufacturer like Peugeot Sport. Becoming a Brand Ambassador for Peugeot Ireland and Reen’s Car Sales will be a most enjoyable position for me.”
Peugeot Sales and Marketing Director, Des Cannon said, “Paul Nagle and Craig Breen are excellent brand ambassadors for Peugeot in Ireland. We very much look forward to working with the dynamic duo to increase the awareness of the Peugeot brand in Ireland, through their ever-growing public profile.”
