Hayden Paddon

[Mk2 RS2000]

Since Sardinia he has added a gear number to his pace notes (which is after the Youtube Video)
I think his pace notes are nice and simple, he sets fast times on stages that are new, I remember reading the difference between Solbergs notes and Loebs notes was Solbergs were much longer, and Loeb did fairly well?
But I know jack about notes so im probably wrong

Being brought up on New Zealand rallies Hayden and John both are used to competing in "Blind events" that is on stages without any form of recce or notes as they are strictly forbidden on most events in the South Island.
In the North Island many events use Jemba stage notes but again without any form of recce permitted.
For the NZ Rally Championship events Jemba stage notes are available plus a one pass recce is permitted and many take this opportunity to write their own notes.
A number who write their own notes then spend countless hours on the night before the rally viewing in car footage and checking their notes by this method.

Perhaps this is where Hayden and John have a slight advantage when on new stages.

It is only on the FIA events that a two pass recce is permitted.
