Published: July 3, 2024, 9:20 p.m.

With a 16 point lead, Kiwi rally driver Hayden Paddon is entering the Estonia leg of the FIA European Rally Championship tied for first.\xa0

He took the crown in the Southland rally in the NZ Rally Championship a couple of weeks back, as well as finding the time to sign up as the new TrailLite Ambassador.\xa0

He told Mike Hosking that rally is to Estonia as rugby is to New Zealand, and everywhere they\u2019ve been this week everyone knows who they are.\xa0

While Paddon has had a bit of a busy month, he\u2019s been doing this for so long that the gap in driving is no issue, telling Hosking that you just trust your instincts.\xa0

\u201cOnce you get in that zone and get back into your, your happy place so to speak, you just, you know, you do what comes naturally.\u201d\xa0
