Carrying an 11.3-second lead over Kajetan Kajetanowicz into the final stage, Breen was only 0.7s slower than his rival from the 2015 ERC season on the final stage, a second run through Banbridge, giving the Irishman a final winning margin of 10.6s.



Kajetanowicz had to make do with second on the Circuit of Ireland for the second straight year, but takes a strong ERC points haul in the crash-enforced absence of Canary Islands winner Alexey Luyanuk.



In third, Alastair Fisher scored a podium finish on the event his uncle Bertie won three times.



Jaromír Tarabus stopped early in the final stage having been within five second of fourth-placed Josh Moffett, who claimed the honours in the British championship.



Tarabus’s problem promotes Jonny Greer to fifth ahead of David Bogie and Tom Cave.



Wojciech Chuchała scored his second win from as many rallies in ERC2, while Łukasz Pieniążek sealed victory in ERC Junior.
