On Rally GB Shakedown in Clocaenog a few years ago, the official WRC drone operator shouted to us surrounding spectators that he was required to ask, 'does anybody object to me using the drone, if so speak now...'. I'm not sure what the laws are here regarding it, but that didn't sound entirely legitimate.

Yes, true, but on the commercial drones side apparently:

FAA holds no authority over any WRC country. At best we can say that it's a first attempt and it will take some time for the other countries to observe how it goes.

No question, if it is to ever happen, it is some time away. Fingers crossed rallying still exists by then.

Paddon had the Hyundai Kona EV Rally car on display at the NZ Agricultural Show. (Also running a rally simulator in the Hyundai area)
Paddon's interview with the Show's online media staff.

Paddon also made it 3 wins from 3 starts in the NZ Rally championship at the South Canterbury Rally today.

First time I watched something from that channel.
+ I didn't actually remember Paddon started in GB 2019.
The start indeed wasn't impressive, slower than Greensmith in same car by quite a lot after 3 stages and crashing. Later it was okish, but not much wow.
- "Can't understand why Mikkelsen drove for Hyundai in 2019 and not Paddon"... Cause he had a 2 year contract while Paddons was ending, simple as that.
In the end it was Loeb who was hired "instead of" Paddon immediately. Kinda understandable since he is 9 times WC and most notably since he at that time just won Catalunya.
The more questionable point would be why Breen was called to drive Rally Finland 2019 and not Paddon.
- "Paddon will be hired by manu teams due to his EV experience once WRC goes full electric". Earliest WRC could go full electric is like 2025. Not because the technology isn't there, but because of at least a few years with current rules (I believe 3 years is minimum) that 3 manus already invested in. By that time it's highly unlikely they start calling Paddon.Last edited by mknight; 22nd August 2021 at 16:16.

We had several attempts to be back again this year. Trying to fund a program on the other side of the world from NZ is so much harder. We are now working on some ideas for 2022 but taking a different approach.

Cool to see our livery in the new WRC10 game. We had several attempts to be back again this year, so not from a lack of trying. Trying to fund a program on the other side of the world from NZ is so much harder compared to European teams/drivers. Would have been very easy to give up by now, but that’s not an option. We are now working on some ideas for 2022 but taking a different approach. Let’s see what the next few months bring.

It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
