Show Notes
On Special Stage this week, we welcome Hayden Paddon to the podcast to break down his World Rally Championship season so far.
We dive into his 2026 campaign, getting a firsthand understanding at how his year has unfolded and what he’s been up to behind the wheel both on and off the events.
With the Australian Rally Championship heading to Western Australia this weekend, we also briefly touch on the Forest Rally. Having taken the outright win there last year, Hayden shares his thoughts on the famously tricky ball-bearing gravel and what the ARC crews can expect.
