Paddon wins Asia title

Kiwi rally star Hayden Paddon and co-driver John Kennard are the 2022 FIA Asia Pacific rally champions, having secured the title at the winner-takes-all APRC final at the Coffs Coast Rally in northern New South Wales last weekend. In winning the APRC title in his threetime New Zealand Rally Championship winning Hyundai i20 AP4, Paddon follows in the footsteps of his rally hero and fellow Kiwi Possum Bourne, who won the ARPC title three times between 1993 and 2000.
