It´s very hard to close good roads for testing Saturday/Sunday. It´s final holiday weekend in Finland and there are summer cottages everywhere...

- any (big) technical issue or damage to the car and they might have big troubles not to miss the rally
- possibly limited number of changes he can do to car/setup. (Mikkelsen said last year that at VW they could pick from 20 different dampers and at Hyundai from 50, so I expect quite a few at MSport as well. Doubt they take "everything" with them to the test so if he doesn't quite like what they have, he might not have a chance to try)

Monday this week would have been much more convenient, but sure a test is better than no test.

I suppose in 2 days he got to drive around their test track at least.

Paddon livery for Finland, a nice composition maintaining MSport feel but with touches of black for New Zealand and hints of green Hayden's preferred color.
Hope we see a model of this released, best livery so far on a Paddon driven car in my opinion.
