Hayden Paddon: Test before Rally Australia

We are now in Australia preparing for this week's rally. After arriving Saturday night, we unloaded the container yesterday and prepared the cars for today's test.

Today's test gave us a good chance to dial the car in for the roads and if the road today is anything to go by for the rally, they are going to be some cool stages! Fast, flowing and hard based, although surprisingly a little slippery in places. Today we focused on the suspension and we were able to make some really good steps forward. The car is feeling great and is now easier to drive. You can see a link to today's test video below:

Now we have two days of recce ahead of us and our first chance to get a taste of the proper stages. Being that this is a new event it is very critical as always to get the notes spot on. Everything else is going well here and the team have been doing a great job.
