I find it interesting that the decision to develop the Paddon transmission requirements must have been made some time ago so that he could test and refine in the Estonian rally before Finland. Also interesting is that at Shakedown he used the set up as decided upon by the other two team drivers after their Finland test day then changed to his Estonian Rally developed set up for the rally. For sure, aside from being quicker than his team mates he did appear to be far more comfortable with his car than they were all event.
With this investment into a set up developed for Hayden it does make one wonder what changes might be in the wind for next season.
