This is strange also. Paddon also has bitter memory from that crash, when fan/photographer died. I think that this was his momemnt when everything go down for him.

That's pretty strange, throwing him in on such a tricky rally to learn the Rally1 car.Quote:

Hyundai will never field 4 cars. At some point I was even thinking that they will not even have 3 cars at all, since they have those strange and unlogical decisions.
But we are happy Paddon is back. It's been so long we have him in WRC the last time. Wish him all the best (good results for team and also for him)
Will he get to learn it at all with all this rotation in drivers ? Afraid all of them end up with lack of confidendence and seat time. Hope i am wrong.Quote:

Strange too that he's doing the (Monte-prep) National Hivernal du Dévoluy event in the Rally2 car.
the test car for rally1 was already booked!Quote:

The i20 Rally2 car that Fourmaux tested the other day sounded a lot like the Rally1 car...Quote:
