    Hayden Paddon's taken a big step towards getting back where he feels he belongs

    Hayden Paddon's taken a big step towards getting back where he feels he belongs


    The Kiwi driver will represent the M-Sport Ford team in Rally Finland, after being overlooked by his former World Rally Championship outfit Hyundai a week ago.

    Paddon was also dropped by Hyundai for this season.

    He says the new outfit has been fantastic.

    He says they've been very open and will give him all of the tools needed.

    Paddon concedes it'll be a tough ask, but is backing himself.

    Rally Finland begins on August 1st.
