31.08.2026 15:08 22 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): This one feels like a proper podium. I think a lot of people had written us off, a lot of people probably thought we were a bit of a joke of a to sign this year, but a lot of people believed in me, and we believed in ourselves. So this goes to show you never ever give up. Dream, dare to believe in your dream, and I can't believe we're back here in this full cycle. And even good for myself just to know that we can still be competitive, knowing there's a lot more as well as we learn the car. But massive thanks to Hyundai. With this opportunity this year, we've just absolutely loved it. For our Kiwi supporters, our own PRG team back at home for allowing me to still do this. And of course John, 22 years. We don't know what's next, but this has been one hell of a journey. He's an absolute legend. We've gone around in full circles I don't know how many times, but yeah, this's a pretty special one.
31.08.2026 15:08 20 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): It is short stage and it was all about keeping clean. We are just managing and keeping pressure on Sami. I'm trying to enjoy it but the nerves keep ramping up. I could drive a lot faster but I can't get the feeling with the braking.
31.08.2026 15:08 19 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): Not committed enough. We haven't done this stage in the past. I was not committed enough with the pace notes.
31.08.2026 15:08 18 flash info (20 - Paddon Hayden / Kennard John): We are not going to do it [overtake Pajari] on pace alone while the conditions are like this. The road conditions are changing quite quickly.
