I'm truly truly gutted, I met him on a few occasions and cant say a bad word against him.
Always polite and thanking us marshals no matter what event he was doing.

Rip Gareth you will be missed x
Thoughts go to Gareth's family and Craig Breen in this sad time.

It is almost identical, I won't be posting the picture either, such a shame to have lost such a young talent.

I had the chance to speak to him last time I was on an event with him, but he looked busy so I left him be, thought to myself "I'll chat with him next time I see him"

He is going to be sorely missed by many people in the rally world, especially in welsh rallying circles

Rest in peace

I didn't know of him as I barely follow rallying nowadays, deaths in motorsports are always sad. RIP, thoughts with his family and driver.

Still cant believe its happened.

Very sad news indeed, clearly a young man taken in his prime doing something that he undoubtedly loved.

Spare a thought for Craig Breen this evening as well, can't imagine what he must be going through.
