Members of the World Rally Championship competition pay tribute with a moment of silence for Breen
Despite the incident, the rally went on as planned, with Elfyn Evans maintaining his overnight advantage to claim victory and move joint top of the World Rally Championship standings.
In highly emotional scenes at the finish, Evans dedicated his victory to Breen.
'It feels so insignificant now, that's the bottom line,' Evans said.
'Obviously we've been working for this for a long time, but it's surprising how little it means just at the moment. We're back to missing our friend now after the real focus of the weekend.
'Straight away, when you come across the finish line, that's all you can think about. We promised the family we would enjoy the weekend. We've done that. I'm sure they were following us. We are definitely thinking of you.'
