Date and time SS Information
31.05.2026 22:05 20 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Obviously lucky to have driven this car for three rallies. Big thanks to the team, who've made us feel welcome and helped us. I loved it, even on a surface I don't prefer. Gravel next? Look - who knows. Too early to say. Focus is on finishing this weekend.
31.05.2026 22:05 19 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We are taking it easy through here. Power Stage is the last stage for the Rally1 tarmac car so we will give it the best we can.
31.05.2026 22:05 18 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We went the wrong direction this morning [with the set up] so now we have an opportunity to change. There are limitations with this car. I would rather be trying something and trying to learn something than nothing.
31.05.2026 22:05 16 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We can't change everything with the set up change overnight. I have got no grip at all. I'm just skating everywhere I don't feel connected with the road. I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can.
31.05.2026 21:05 15 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We know Hyundai has a bit of history in this stage so I took it pretty easy. We made set up change for the last day of Rally1 on tarmac but it didn't work. Everyday is a school day.
