Haydon Paddon has confirmed today that he will return to defend his European Rally Championship title with a full program for 2024.
"Together with the Hyundai i20 N Rally2, BRC, and John alongside, we look forward to the challenge of a new season, with new events, new competition and new goals.It has been a lot of hard work over the summer to put this years program together financially, which has meant a lot of sacrifices, but wouldn’t have it any other way to be doing what I love most. A big thank you to Hyundai NZ, BRC, Hyundai Motorsport and Pirelli who are key in helping us to make this all happen
Round 1 kicks off with the gravel of Rally Hungary in just over 2 weeks time.
