Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special Stage: 🔎 Inside Taylor Gill's Rally Finland week
Q: Is that first pass only that you're looking at on Shakedown, or do you look at the subsequent passes of Shakedown and use that as an indicator?
Both passes are measurable; the first pass feels foreign but it's meant to blow the cobwebs out, and the second pass helps confirm performance as we push for a good time.
Special Stage: 🔎 Inside Taylor Gill's Rally Finland week
Q: What's the task now? Obviously, it's notes and stuff tonight, then Shakedown tomorrow. What's lingering in your head at the moment?
I really just want to drive on Shakedown and see where we're going to stack up, lay a marker, and then set some goals from there.
Special Stage: 'Boomer' Harvey talks his Alpine Rally debut and Lovells
Q: How did he get the initial call about doing some rallying? How did he find it? How did he enjoy the training?
Harvey explains how Lovells boss Simon Crane approached him to ambassador for Lovells, which opened up rally experiences and training that gradually built his confidence and skill.
Special Stage: Hayden Paddon tells all on 2026 WRC and what's to come
Q: What are the biggest personal and professional considerations you're weighing as you balance competing in WRC with potential long-term plans for your own team?
He emphasizes building a sustainable business and potentially running a team out of New Zealand, weighing logistics, budget, and partner opportunities, while remaining focused on performing well in the current WRC program and exploring future collaborations.
Special Stage: Hayden Paddon tells all on 2026 WRC and what's to come
Q: You've spoken about the impact of on-board videos and rally live; do you think this technology has taken away some of the sport's talent or traditional preparation?
Hayden argues that while videos and live streams are valuable for media and fans, they can erode the traditional feel and reduce the perceived excitement of driving strictly by pace notes, suggesting the need for balance and occasional evolution of stages to keep the sport authentic.
