This year the event returns to the South Island of New Zealand starting from Picton at the top of the Island and concluding at the tourist destination of Queenstown a week later. Enroute...

A bit of the pot calling the kettle black ?

It will be interesting to observe how the new drivers adjust their style to suit the WRC cars. The comment passed back to me was that while the S2000 Skoda was like a go-kart to drive, the WRC car...

I rate him as high/higher than the likes of Ostberg, Kubica, Novikov, Evans[/quote]

So do I and I am not being disrespectful to that group of drivers.

The fat lady hasn't even started to clear her throat let alone sing.

I guess the other thing to be considered is that when someone gets what is basically a guest drive you (a) don't bin it and (b) don't head off a works car. You just go with the program and do as...

People used to say the same thing about Scott Dixon when he went to Indycars but he proved them wrong too.

Paddon has now driven two stages on gravel in a WRC car, he never had the opportunity to test on gravel. What do you expect of him in these circumstances, go maximum attack in dust with a car that is...

"also Paddon gave his "rights" to a management company with shareholders (do I need to explain this?)."

Just to assist you, the shareholders are primarily made up of "mum & dad type" investors...

They are getting to be old cars now and pretty much out classed by RRC, R4 & R5 cars and Just as a thought, perhaps it is now less expensive to own a bare car and lease the mechanicals than is it to...

The Co-driver or Driver should have placed their triangle out to give warning to the following competitors as soon as they got out of their car as it a regulatory requirement of rallying

A nice list of events that would provide an excellent championship but how many of those countries can now afford the costs involved. Not everyone lives in a subsidised world these days and those ...

I think that when the 2014 calendar is finally released that you will find that other country/s will have made the same decision for the same reason/s.
If this is the case then it will be a very...

Rock/s were on the racing line, the tree wasn't

If I had the opportunity to talk with Hayden tonight my comments would be to respect Robert but now is the time to give him a taste of Kiwi.

If that was the case then the person standing roadside has had approximately one minute to take a few steps forward and remove it as by its location it would have had to come from the passage of the...

Have just viewed Hayden Paddon's daily blog that he puts on facebook and in there is shows the onboard footage of him hitting the rock that damaged his suspension and steering. The rock is in the...

6 x 2 = two toots + two taps then two tons. Dead simple!!

Go back to the regulations of Groups One, Two & Four

My best guess is Neuville and Paddon

Amongst many other the others on my shelves are included
International Rallying by Stuart Turner
Rallying with BP by Stanley Paul
Rallying by Chris Sclater and Martin Holmes
A-Z Of Rally Cars by...

From Hayden Paddon on greyroots a popular NZ rallysport facebook page

I'm amazed by all the talk and story's of how our car is so light and so powerful....I wish. That's the problem with these...

With the exception of 2 stages, the first when a front wheel bearing collapsed and he lost just over 2 minutes and the second when his steering wheel came off in his hands and he lost 40+ seconds,...

Reason was simply dollars. Paddon needs the $$$$ to come up to Europe and if he had spent the money on the factory parts for his car rather than copying them then making them himself then he would...
