Breeze won 3 major British karting titles before moving up to car racing. He dabbled in racing in New Zealand and France before moving into Formula Renault. In 2001 he was champion, with results which were stronger than Kimi Räikkönen's the previous year, although unlike Kimi he had experience of the championship and its circuits.

He made a move to tin-top racing in 2002, joining Vic Lee's team for rounds 4-10 of the BTCC in an independent Pegueot 406. He signed for a full season in their self-developed 307 in 2003, but moved to the GA team's Vauxhall Astra mid-season. He remained with the team for 2004[1] racing both the Astra and an Alfa Romeo, with an assortment of team-mates including Stefan Hodgetts, Kelvin Burt and Gavin Smith.

For 2005 he moved to the Seat Cupra Championship with the Barwell team, finishing 4th overall with one with and 10 podiums. For 2006 he raced for Edenbridge as team-mate to Tom Ferrier,[2] and continued in the SEAT Cupra competition in 2007.
