Hayden Paddon has confirmed his entry in the 2021 RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship (ARC) season opener in Canberra. The ex WRC driver will drive the Walkem Motorsport prepared Hyundai i20 R5.
“I am thrilled to again be working with the team at Walkem Motorsport and being part of the Australian Championship, beginning with the Netier National Capital Rally in March, and big thanks to Graeme, Marcus and Scott for this opportunity” Paddon said.
“For me, the Canberra event is a really exciting prospect. The only time I have been there was for my very first overseas trip as a holiday when I was 13 years old to watch the rally – so its exciting to return 20 years later to drive in the event.
“As we look towards next year, we are also discussing the potential of running a full ARC season in the Hyundai which would certainly be an exciting prospect for both myself and the Walkem Motorsport team. We hope to be able to confirm our full plans shortly.”
Round one of the RSEA Safety Motorsport Australia Rally Championship, the Netier National Capital Rally, takes place on 26-28 March, 2021 in the forests surrounding Canberra.
