The announcement comes soon after the organisers of Rally Estonia announced that Hyundai Motorsport team driver, Hayden Paddon, is to drive a Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC in their event, which is sponsored by Shell Helix, one of Hyundai’s official team partners. Paddon’s entry on the ultra fast Estonia Rally comes at a strategic time in pre Neste Rally Finland testing work. The intrepid Andreas shared the driving with Thierry Neuville on last year’s end-of-season Monza Rally. Paddon, however, stays safely behind the steering wheel on his extra curricular events in his native New Zealand, in a special locally built right-hand drive Hyundai i20 AP4+ car.Anders as the driver, and me as the co-driver?! Yes, that is the case for #RallyNumedal just after #RallySweden! #TeamEVEN #Hyundaii20R5 https://t.co/amCCJ3vmw4 #TeamEVEN #i20R5 #HMSGOfficial pic.twitter.com/JsnU2T476m
