Chris West and Hayden Paddon secure free entries into the Production class on the Rally New Zealand.

Paddon was also one of two drivers, the other being Brad Ayling from Taranaki, to top the points' table for the first qualifying round of the Asia Pacific Pirelli star driver competition, which provides the drivers with nearly $10,000 each towards the costs of competing in the Pirelli star driver finale at Rally Malaysia in October this year. The Pirelli winner in Malaysia earns the right to contest six World Rally Championship rounds in a specially-prepared car next year.

“With the advent of the Pirelli star driver competition, this year there are more opportunities than ever for our young rally drivers to develop their rallying careers and make that break onto the world stage,” Carr concluded. “We look forward to working with Chris West and Hayden Paddon to maximise the opportunities this P-WRC scholarship affords them.”
