Hayden Paddon:
"It’s P2 in Ypres - very happy with the weekend and while it’s not the win, it was an enjoyable and close fought battle with Stephane and the locals. Loved the rally and the roads! Big thanks to the BMA team for a faultless car and everyone that made the event possible for us. Big thanks to Jared who did a brilliant job on the notes.
No rest, on a plane tomorrow to prepare for next weeks Rally Queensland - round 3 of the Australian Rally Championship"
Final results:

Story on Down Under motorsport media this week.
I doubt there is the budget available from NZ alone for such a project.

He could reach out to any chinese brand as this seems the right time to do it. He should forget about Hyundai as they are not giving a single fu**.

A Chinese brand in rallying would be highly unlikely.
The Chinese Auto-industry is in a consolidation phase, probably with lean operations & no room for luxuries like motorsport.

GWM this year has set up a small department in Australia for adapting their vehicles to Australian conditions.

(With the closure of Holden & Ford & the Japanese brands manufacturing operations in Australia, the engineers went elsewhere to Tesla in the US for example)
Paddon's rallying has had Hyundai New Zealand (a separate operation from big Hyundai) as a cornerstone backer for many years.

Might have read between the lines a bit on this video. Sounds like Paddon and Hyundai New Zealand are looking at what they can do together in the future when the WRC27 rules firm up.
Looks like temps are dropping down to -2C overnight where Paddon's workshop is, the reason for wearing the rally jacket.

Paddon and his team (& Hyundai NZ) seem to be the most positive of anyone about 2027.
