Hayden Paddon and John Kennard will be gunning for a good result in the Wales Rally GP this weekend to propel them up the World Rally Championship leaderboard. With two World Rally Championship (WRC) events left on the calendar, it is imperative Hayden Paddon turns his previously mixed fortunes at Wales Rally GB into a podium finish to propel him up the leaderboard. Despite his experience on the often wet and muddy Welsh stages, Paddon is yet to get the monkey off his back here. Anti-lag system problems meant they could nott achieve the pace they expected on that day’s predominantly gravel stages. The Welsh rally begins tonight NZ time with an itinerary that takes in more than half of the total distance, with 178km of gravel stages.
