Information
Date and time SS Information
31.08.2026 14:08 8 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It's obviously difficult for everyone. I think everyone's had problems, so if we can drive out of two stages on punctures and still be, you know, within touching distance, we've been unlucky but lucky at the same time. Tough day, and the scary thing is I think this is going to be the easiest day of the rally. Brace yourself for the next couple of days, I think.
31.08.2026 14:08 7 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is tough, it delaminated with about 15km to go. We managed it the best we could. No fault for anyone it is demanding for the tyres. Our job as rally drivers is to drive around situations.
31.08.2026 14:08 7 (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): puncture
31.08.2026 13:08 6 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Nothing. Obviously it is puncture but no idea where from. There is obviously a lot of rocks but I didn't touch anything. I tried to manage it for the last part of the stage. It was probably our turn.
31.08.2026 13:08 6 (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): puncture
31.08.2026 13:08 5 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We are just driving our own rally at the moment. The time is almost irrelevant we are just trying to keep it really smooth. There is a long way to go and the goal is to avoid punctures.
31.08.2026 02:08 4 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): I've probably learned in life you have to savour these moments a little bit as well. So yeah, it's pretty special to think after all this time to be in this position. Again, a few circumstances have worked in our way, but yeah, it's pretty cool. Anyway, we have to reset and focus and try and do the same this afternoon.
31.08.2026 02:08 3 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is obviously really hard conditions for everyone. Apologies to my Nanna but she can drive better than that. I'm struggling with the front and the back.
31.08.2026 02:08 2 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It doesn't feel a great run. There su some road sweeping so we have a small advantage. It is really difficult conditions. When you start to push you are in the ditches. Very difficult to find the right balance.
31.08.2026 02:08 1 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It was very difficult. The grip is very low and changing a lot.
