Hayden Paddon and John Kennard have made a solid start to their WRC Secto Rally Finland 2022 and sit sixth overall in the WRC2 category and 15th overall.
“Good to successfully complete a day of WRC rallying after a long day in the car,” commented Paddon. “Super close times amongst all the locals and only 50sec from the lead in P6.
“We have been missing a little bit of pace but with more time in the seat and data, this will improve. Looking forward to tomorrow with some amazing stages and rain on the way
