Paddons´chances doing well in Finland is good. Places 4-7 should be possible. His Fiesta is better than Breens Huyndai.

Recce vides, if you like. Again made with a horrible fisheye lense camera.

I still prefer looking at last year's WRC+ onboards for Harju, Oittila, Moksi, Urria, Ässämäki, Laukaa and Ruuhimäki. Äänekoski and Kakaristo are also mostly same as last year. Furthermore, you can see Leustu from 2014 and Päijälä from 2017. Vesala SD is on WRC youtube channel.

Useful bits from the videos:

- Ässämäki 2:50 forest cut
- Äänekoski 6:45-> new sections
- Pihlajakoski 0:00-11:10 new sections
- Kakaristo 0:00-3:40 new sections
- Leustu 0:00-0:48 new sections
- Laukaa 11:50 new junction turn

I would love to see Hayden do well but I'm afraid he'll lose time on the first day getting used to the car when he should be taking advantage of his good starting place (assuming it's dry)

I don't really recall any driver struggling to learn the Fiesta though. Only real struggle I remember is Ogier last year in Finland when they changed both aero and dampers right before. Generally Fiesta seems the most driver-friendly car.

Tidemand?

Tidemand?

It's different because it was his first WRC2017 drive as well. In fact, no one before Paddon has moved from another WRC2017 car to a Fiesta WRC.

Well, Ogier had tried the Yaris (and the Polo)

[Allez Andruet]

And Suninen had tested the Yaris, but ok, I'm sure that was not the point. I agree these examples are not like drivers struggling with the C3 for example.
