A great video clip from Matthew Pears that perfectly sums up why we love New Zealand rally stages so much!

A successful test rally complete. Learning the new car has been a bigger challenge than we anticipated but have learnt a lot over the weekend and have a good direction to now move forward. Step by step! Huge thanks to our team who are superstars! @HyundaiNZ @FIAERC @JKCoDriver

Good couple of days here in Alba. Taking a little more than expected to wrap my head around the adjusted driving style for tarmac but enjoying a lot. 4th fastest through stage 1, 0.4sec off fastest, but long day with some very nice, challenging stages ahead tomorrow. Can’t wait!

After 3 years, it’s finally time to get on the big bird. Rather than writing it, listen to our thoughts as we head to Europe. The rest of our team will be joining @JKCoDriver and I later this week. Let’s go! #HyundaiNZrally #paddonspack @HyundaiNZ @OfficialWRC

Ride onboard with @JKCoDriver and I during one of our favourite Timaru Rally stages. Loving the NZ stages - but oh what I would do to drive internationally again! We will keep looking for opportunities, whether it be R5, WRC, national or international. youtu.be/oG8Zimm7_cc

John and I had a lot of fun over the weekend - throwing the car around (not the fastest way but certainly the most fun) and a few debates over one of our pace notes ‘maybe’ - if it was flat or not 😂

Looking forward to the round 3 of the NZ championship this weekend - Rally South Canterbury. Returning home to where it all started with some of the fastest stages of the year. Let’s go!!!! @HyundaiNZ @zenergynz @mitre10mega #paddonspack

A small clip from the first few km’s of the first stage of Saturday morning at Rally Whangarei a week ago. Certainly a good way to wake up for the rally ahead with one of the busiest stages of the event.

Mega weekend and mega result - P1. Huge testimate to the whole team. While it may look easy, there is certainly a lot of hard work that goes into every event as we are always striving to improve - shown by beating our stage records from 2019 on 6 of the 8 stages! @HyundaiNZ

Ride onboard with @JKCoDriver and I at 2021 @OtagoRally in our @HyundaiNZ AP4 - Waipori Gorge. An absolute magic piece of road. youtu.be/tH_ogeq9APE

All the best bits from the weekend condensed into 90 seconds @HyundaiNZ @DirtFishRally @rallylivenz @OtagoRally

What a mega team effort - winners of Rally Otago. Awesome event after a huge off season for our team. Unfortunately a couple of punctures today prevented a clean sweep of stage wins, but never the less, a great way to start the championship. @HyundaiNZ @rallylivenz @JKCoDriver

We have also ensured that we have given the car flare and have focused on futuristic but practical designs throughout the car. PRG is here to make a statement, and for the future of our sport. #TimesAreChanging 2/2

HERE IT IS! Our Hyundai Kona EV Rally car #NZEVRC1. We have worked hard on this car to begin developing solutions to make EV work in a real-world rally environment. 1/2 @hyundainz
