Hayden Paddon - Part 1

From a small town on New Zealand's South Island to the World Rally Championship, Hayden's journey encompasses all sorts of twists and turns. His drive and determination could outshine most motivational speakers! This candid and insightful conversation unveils the story of a self-confessed introvert. It all began with a grass kart powered by a chainsaw engine, evolving into taking the wheel of his Dad's rally car, mastering some of the best roads on the planet. The discussion delves into his early grasp of the business of Motorsport and how he continues to expand that impressive skill set outside the car. Oh, and he confesses to having an unhealthy obsession with Minis too. Ever curious? Discover what's tucked away in the Paddon garage for those rare moments when he gets the chance to escape.
