    Unfortunately a part they needed for the 850hp engine didn't arrive in time so it was running the ~500hp engine instead. Still not exactly slow mind you.

    Looking bleak right now, a lot of funding was gathered for these two outings, with nothing to show for the team bosses.

    Such a shame this. I guess in force majeure situations (like the one in Australia) none of the costs are returned to the consignee. Which is understandable ofcourse, but so damn unlucky on Paddon's part.

    Well, the fiesta doesn't do any SS km , so there are no spares, tires, fuel and rebuild needed. I think m-sport won't charge him for that.

    Not being able to show what he can do in a WRC car again is the biggest disappointment.

    I really hope M-Sport give him a chance in 2020 if/when Evans leaves.

    Of course not for those, but the car was shipped to the other side of the globe along with parts and mechanics.

    But that should be a limited cost in the grand sceme of things. You can probably ship the car and its parts in a container to australia for the price of a new bumper.
    The extra mechanics seem the biggest cost to me, but you probably can't even rebuild an engine for that money.

    Still sad for paddon, so much wasted money. I hope he has more chances next yeat.

    Last year at this time Paddon just finished 2nd in Australia and was 3rd in Turkey. Nobody picked him then. Most notably MSport didn't, even though Evans had a horrible season.

    Since then, apparat from local rallies, he crashed on pre-Finland test, went off road in GB only scoring 2 fastest R5 times and didn't start in AU.
    How is this more likely to get him a seat at the end of this year I wonder.
