"The R5 is a nice car to drive, and has some strengths and some weaknesses compared to AP4," Paddon told RallySport Magazine."Generally it's an easy and balanced car to drive, and while there are differences between AP4 and R5, there are also a lot of similarities. "It was great to work with Marcus Walkem and see how he adapted to the car quickly, and it will be great to see him soon competing in it," he added.
