New Zealand rally star Hayden Paddon has had his first taste of silverware for 2017 and is hungry for more as the FIA World Rally Championship heads to the French Mediterranean island of Corsica this week. Marshall, who had his debut event with Paddon at the round of the Italian Rally Championship, will take over co-driving duties from Paddon's long-time navigator, John Kennard, after Rally Finland in July. ''It's a nice rally, flowing stages and obviously very twisty in places, but one of the more enjoyable tarmac rallies. The long stages coupled with the faster cars will mean that tyre management will be key,'' Paddon said. Paddon and Kennard will start the first day ninth based on their championship position.
