From Paddon's facebook account today. Wonder what he has tested. Hope he manages to sort something out!

Easy car to drive. Customer-friendly Fiesta WRC?

Hayden Paddon shares the same manager as Seb Ogier, and is also sponsored by the Giltrap Group who are VW Group importer in NZ, also he has been a Skoda driver this year, I am just wondering if he has tested the Polo.
However, I suspect it was a Fiesta at Greystoke, as I am sure MSport are running test sessions for prospective customers.

Busy end of year for Loeb. He is testing again the DS3 on gravel in Almodovar, Portugal. The VW's drivers are going to be even busier than him because they are going to test in the South of France and then near Karlstadt before the end of the year.

Not near Karlstad i think, not much snow even when the rally is on there. Sure it's not up in Kall?

The source says that VW at the end of the year "will go to Karsltad". I don't know the precision of that information, though in the same article was revealed that Citroen is testing in Portugal.
I suppose testing at the same latitude of Kongsvinger, as VW did this year, should be more suitable.
