Re: [WRC] News & rumours (part III)
I thought Paddon should have done another year in WRC2 with a Fiesta R5/ RRC or the Skoda S2000.
I wonder if Hyundai have not schooled themselves on the wrc mistakes of the past when manufacturers went for quantity of entries too early rather than the quality of their cars and never did very well.
I hope Bouffier gets more drives with M Sport.

Let us not forget that Paddon is a very good at testing and development too having built his own NZ championship winning cars since he was a teenager. He is very good at hands on engineering a skill set not evident with a number of other top line drivers

You are wrong. Paddon is a perpetual winner. A trait not evident in any current drivers except Ogier. This is a smart decision and well deserved.
I think so too. Probably even this year we'll see some excellent results from him. Of course then everything else depends on the car.

I'm repeating myself BUT Paddon has not defeated any big guy yet in any championship with any car. To call him next Ogier is way too exaggerated at least for now.

I think this is result of his different types of competition (last 2 years). Now he can concentrate on WRC only, as this seems to be his goal from some time.

Nonsense. I'll repeat myself too.
On debut, in a WRC team, Paddon's credentials will surpass (means be better than) the credentials of both Loeb & Ogier at the time of their debuts.
I'm not suggesting Paddon will be the next Ogier. With the right support I'd aim one higher!
Many of you forget the very privileged introduction the Seb's had into the WRC. With the same level of support, others could achieve equally. There is no one more qualified than Paddon to do so.

I woudn't compare him with Loeb especially, Loeb has debuted against maaaaaany World Champions.
EDIT: Oh, btw happy birhtday to him :) - http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/febru...2--12-12-.html
