Breen, from Ireland, hasn’t competed in the IRC since his co-driver Gareth Roberts lost his life on Targa Florio-Rally Internazionale Di Sicilia in June.
“We are really glad he’s coming back to our team because he’s a really, really fast driver, a really professional driver and I think he can do very well in Sanremo,” said Saintéloc team manager Vincent Ducher, who confirmed Breen will test in Italy before the rally.
Sanremo completes Breen’s intended four-event IRC campaign with Saintéloc, which will field a second Peugeot on the Italian asphalt rally for Swiss ace Florian Gonon.
