Wrc Argentina 2016

Well done to Paddon and Kennard. Great effort by Hyundai with the ability to give Hayden a winning car.

There will be some serious talent coming out of NZ in the next few years with Paddons efforts in the WRC giving the sport even more momentum.

There seems to be more younger competitors in NZ than I have seen elsewhere in the world, maybe it's the chance to buy cheap gray imports 4wd's such as GC8 Subaru's and EVO 6's and chuck a cage in it and go rallying. Also having the best roads in the rally world helps as well.

Ray

might be an early call. I think Hyundai now have a serious contender of a car, with only the individual brilliance of Ogier the difference.

Mexico was introduction, Otago we worked on a number of things, and this is the first rally we wanted to push a little. We focused VERY hard on El Condor, and i mean VERY hard.
But I must say, his driving on El Condor just blew my mind, he is just incredible! :)
And hopefully I will enjoy working with him a lot in the future.
But I must say, a BIG, BIG thanks to Olav Bodilsen who spent over 4 years tutoring me in this. I dont even know half of what he does, so thanks Olav :)

Quite big impact from slow speed. By the way, there should be over 20 cm of snow and -10 degrees tonight! Proper winter conditions, I would like to see some pictures from that!

Hehe :)
In New Zealand they both have a space frame car and the new AP4 regulation, and I like both concepts. And I actually think AP4 should be made "official" by FIA being the standard for nationally homologating 4WD veichles.
But thats a bit off topic :)
