Hayden Paddon: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Well hasn’t the year flown by. Seven rallys later it is time to start focusing on 2013 and a new rally season. It is great to be back in New Zealand enjoying the fantastic summer weather. However, the hard work has just begun as the next 2-3 months will be full on putting together next years campaign.

Not only will the time be spent trying to secure the necessary budget, which single handed is the biggest challenge. There will also be a tough decision to make between a WRC or WRC 2 campaign. There are many elements that need to be considered to make sure that we make the right career move not just for 2013 but also 2014. Everyone within HPRG is working very hard to secure the budget to try and make it happen.

As the final newsletter for this year I would like to take this chance to thank everyone that has supported us, partnered us and helped us to be where we are. Without you all I would not be in a position to live our dream as we strive to make it to the top of the sport. I also wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as 2013 promises to be an exciting year. We also have several new plans for how we will keep you updated next year, ultilising our website and live updates more.

We will keep you posted of any new updates throughout the off season as we prepare to hopefully return to the WRC in some shape or form. Fingers and toes crossed!
