Two offers for Hayden Paddon

At 27, New Zealander Hayden Paddon completed his first season with the team Hyundai WRT, with six rallies to its credit and a 6th place as its best result, achieved during the Rally from Australia. For 2015, while Hyundai will line up the Belgian Thierry Neuville, assisted by the Spaniard Dani Sordo (in at least ten events), Paddon has not yet finalized his future.

“Having two offers on the table from two different teams is humbling, and probably complicates the process, but maybe it means we did something right this year, indicates Paddon at the microphone of the television channel TVNZ, who suggests that Citroën would have proposed an offer. We are working on the small details at the moment and hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will be able to confirm what we will be doing. Things have changed in the last year. Twelve months ago, it was quite difficult. We also need to think about what will give us the best chance of being competitive in the future. This is all part of the decision-making process. »

In our 1989 issue of AUTOhebdo, already available in digital version, we also explain to you that the Norwegian Mads Ostberg would only be offered a reduced program by Citroën for next year.
