1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Never easy being the defending champion, but Hayden Padden started 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: the season off very nicely. Indeed, they're in Estonia this 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: weekend for the FIA European Rally Championship. Hadden goes in 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: as joint leader, of course, in between rallies. He's signed 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: up lately his new trail Light Ambassador, which is good 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: and after winning, of course a great deal of success 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,600 Speaker 1: at the Rally of South for the New Zealand Rally 8 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: Championship a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, to Estonia we go. 9 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: Hayden Padden's well, there's Hayden morning. 10 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, Monny way, very. 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: Kind of you to stay up so late. I've got 12 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: you at seven minutes past eleven. Are you normally up 13 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: this later or we holding you up? 14 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: No, No, it's not too bad. Actually the bit of 15 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: jet leg and the b F and my body clock 16 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: has no idea what Tom Dad is, so it just 17 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: does what I tell it to. 18 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: What's the mood in Estonia? Does a Stonia get excited 19 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: about the rally? They're a rallying nation in that sense. 20 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 2: They're a really crazy country. To be fair, if we 21 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: were being this week, you will knows who we are 22 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: what the name is, you know, it doesn't matter where 23 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: you go. And you know eight ten X obviously a 24 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: X world champion. I think he's really put rally on 25 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: the map here and it is much like what Redby 26 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: is to us is what really is to Estonia. 27 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: It's amazing. Where are you at, How are you feeling? 28 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: Yeah? 29 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: Good? 30 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, looking forward to this week. Obviously, it's been a 31 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: pretty busy period for us over the last month between 32 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: rallies back home in New Zealand and on of course 33 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: the European Championship to travel back and forth and you know, partnerships, 34 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: you know, obviously with a new partnership with trail like 35 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: caravans and working on things back at home. So yeah, 36 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: busy times, but looking forward to getting back in the 37 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: car this weekend and doing what we do best. 38 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the trail and the economic 39 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: side of it in just a couple of moments, but 40 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: as far as getting in and out of a car, 41 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: how big does the gap need to be before it 42 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: becomes a problem or is once you're good, you're good now? 43 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: I think once you're good, you're good. You know, I've 44 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: been doing this for so long now that you just 45 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: trust your INNT thinks. You know, you're going week in, 46 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 2: week in that on both sides of the world. You know, 47 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: it's amazing what that adrilline does here once again in 48 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: his zone and get back into your your happy place, 49 00:01:58,320 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: so to speak. You just you know, you do. It 50 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 2: comes naturally and you know it's what you back yourself 51 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: to do. 52 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: How do you handle the flying in the time zones 53 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: and the travel and do you ever get used to it? 54 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: I don't think you can get used to it. It 55 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: definitely gets a bit exhausted after a while. But as 56 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 2: I say that, the best medicine for me is hopping 57 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: in the race cart the other end, and it makes 58 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: you sort of forget about it. You know. As a 59 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: year goes on, it definitely compoles, you know. I think 60 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: last year we did eight New Zealand and European return 61 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: flights and a lot of, as I say, back to 62 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: back events, you know, one weekend in New Zealand the 63 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: next weekend in Europe and vice versa. So yeah, as 64 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 2: a season gets on, you definitely get a little bit 65 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: more tired, but you just try and prepare yourself a 66 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 2: piece you can. 67 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: And how hard is that? I mean, how much of 68 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: that piecing together a season do you do versus other 69 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: people do for you. 70 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: Between myself and our team, we do it all ourselves. 71 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: So it's really just a matter of at the start 72 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: of the season sitting down and working at what we're 73 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: going to do. You know, we obviously trying to keep 74 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 2: ourselves current in Europe still we've still got aspirations over here. 75 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: We're trying to achieve. But it's important for us and 76 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 2: our partners that we have to keep competing in the 77 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: New Yale because as sponsors are not going to invest 78 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: in us to be competing on the other side of 79 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 2: the world where we're almost invisible in New Zealand. So 80 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: it's important that we sort of got to make both 81 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: programs grow together. 82 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: And how does the New Zealand signer but work? I mean, 83 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: without to put it bluntly pissing in your pocket, do 84 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: you go into each rally in New Zealand with the well, 85 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: you better win it because you are Hayden Padden pressure. 86 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is difficult in New Zealand because we've got 87 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: nothing in the gain and everything to lose, so to speak. 88 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: You know, it's obviously a privileged position that we're in 89 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: that you know everyone's trying to beat us, and you've 90 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: got that target on your back. But you know, at 91 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: the end of day, I throw off that as well, 92 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: because I know that you know, we can't afford to 93 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: make mistakes, and we're always trying to. I guess search 94 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: for perfection, which is almost impossible in the sport, but 95 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: it keeps you on your toes, and it keeps you 96 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: trying to. I guess keep pushing forward, and I guess 97 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: not resting your laurels. 98 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: And where where do you reckon? You at a as 99 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: a driver in totality, how do you see yourself in 100 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: this career of yours at this point in time? 101 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: Definitely driving as good as they ever have. I think 102 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: when you're younger you probably take a few more risks 103 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: in some places. But I think as you get older, 104 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: you get wiser, not just in life, but just and 105 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 2: how you drive, how you feel in the car. You 106 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: know what's fast, you know what's not fast, and you 107 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: can take a jumper well, you know if it's not 108 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: going your way on a particular stage or a particular 109 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: section where you may have got under your skin in 110 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: the past, Nowadays you can sort of put it behind 111 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: you and move on. And Yeah, I think when you 112 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: look at an overall rally over the course of a 113 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: whole week, I think I can put together a better 114 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 2: performance now than what I did when I was maybe younger. 115 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and what about the relationship with your co pilot 116 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: and John, I mean, as that matures goes on, I 117 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: mean that must be special in and of itself and 118 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: must bring you a level of reassurance you just can't 119 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: get with a e a changing group of people. 120 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: Oh, definitely, like nineteen years you know, he's got his 121 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: gold card this year actually so, But you know John 122 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: and I, like nineteen years ago, we would have never 123 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: thought we'd still be doing this together, and we're still 124 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: as compared as each other and still loving it. And 125 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: obviously now we're both working with a young co driving 126 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: Zealand Jared Hudson, who's doing the new Zealand rallies with us, 127 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 2: so we both working on that next generation as well. 128 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, character. 129 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: Is what he does when you talk about a new 130 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: co pilot, is what he does art or science both. 131 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: I would say, all I know is I couldn't do 132 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: There's no way I'd be sitting on the passenger sticking 133 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: with my head down reading pace notes while we're hurling 134 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: through the forested up the turn commas are. 135 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Now that's amazing, isn't it. What sort of series, well, 136 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: what sort of races? The Estonia Race, what sort of 137 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: roads you're dealing with? Is that soft roads? You know? 138 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Is it your sort of road or not? Yeah? 139 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: Very fast, a bit like New Zealand in terms of 140 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: the speed, but here the roads are a lot softer, 141 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 2: almost like a sandy type surface. Gets quite rough on 142 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: the second past. The biggest thing here those are jumps. 143 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: They build a lot of man made jumps into the stages, 144 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: so we're jumping up to fifty sixty seventy meters long 145 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 2: in the air. So yeah, it's a good sensation when 146 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 2: you get that right. 147 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: That's sensational. As far as the quality of the comp 148 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: you're in, Hayden, how would you describe it? 149 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: Definitely the most competitive fields that I've ever been in. 150 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: You know, when we're in wic you had sort of 151 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 2: eighteen fast drivers at the top. In this field, it's 152 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: all probably funded team so same boat as us, but 153 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: you've got thirty fast drivers and you know you have 154 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: a bad stage, you're out of the top twenty. So yeah, 155 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: it's fiercely competitive for. 156 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: Which I love fantastic. Now we mentioned trial Light earlier on, 157 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: so you got the association. How difficult is it? First 158 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: of all? Two part question are you at the face 159 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: of the global economy and cost of living crises and 160 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff when it comes to sponsorship 161 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: and support? And part two, how is it currently for you? 162 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: It is tough. You know, our business is the motorsport 163 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: business that we have in New Zealand. We have teen employees, 164 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: so we're a small business like a lot of other 165 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: people in the country and and you know a big 166 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: part of what we do is through partnerships, and you 167 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 2: know we're down forty percent this year. You know, in 168 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: tough time like that's the first thing that gets called 169 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: out of people's budgets is marketing and sponsorship. So us 170 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: and we as a company, we need to be thinking 171 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: outside of the box and on how we provide value. 172 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: And you know, without sponsors we ultimately can't raise that's 173 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, that's a crack of fit and. 174 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: How much of you needs to be an entrepreneur in 175 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: that sense or do other people handle that for you? 176 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 2: It's probably the biggest part of what I do to 177 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: be fair so more so than driving, you know, and 178 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 2: I enjoy it working with our partners. We're so lucky 179 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: to have so many loyal partners behind us, you know, 180 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: particularly can Danie Zeland and a lot of key iconic 181 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: Kiwi brands. So yeah, obviously we've got to keep, I guess, 182 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: pushing the barrow and doing something different every year to 183 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: keep that fresh. 184 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: So being a motorsport fan, this stuff fascinates me. How 185 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: much of the support that's out there, because I'm talking 186 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: to Lillam Lawson relatively recently and he's supported by forty 187 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: one different people, and a lot of that's going to 188 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: be passion as opposed to I don't want the money 189 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: back if it comes fantastic whatever, it's passionate. How much 190 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: of what motorsport is at your experience in terms of support, 191 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: is passion as opposed to business. 192 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on what phasing your career you're in. 193 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: I think through my early years in WC, it was 194 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: definitely passion. We had similar you know, we had like 195 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: up to one hundred sheerholders involved in what we're doing, 196 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: people investing in our future. Nowadays it's a bit more corporate. Obviously, 197 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: you're still passion involved, particularly you know through the New 198 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: Zealands and people who have been buying us for up 199 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: to ten years. But we have to give a return 200 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: on investment now because it ain't a donation. You know, 201 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: you need to give that point a difference. And you know, 202 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: for us, it's not really about the sticker on the car. 203 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: It's actually about the experiences that we provide and that 204 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: you strap people in a rally car and take them 205 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 2: for a once in a lifetime opportunity that they'll remember forever. 206 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 2: Providing experiences, it's the stuff outside the car that can 207 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: actually give the value to the partnerships exactly. 208 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: And when you talk about this, there's link between the 209 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: tech and the Hyundai for example. Is it still as 210 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: applicable as it ever was? So in other words, you 211 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: are in rallying as a car brand to roll technology 212 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: down the track to a road car and get people 213 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: invested in your car, et cetera. 214 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: Not just a road car. I think a lot of 215 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: things within the industry, Like obviously that's where electric rally 216 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: car comes in. It's sort of pits us in a 217 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 2: position as a team that we're pushing forward and innovation 218 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: and engineering, and that's where the lights of you know, 219 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 2: even trail Light, who are very similar to us, or 220 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: a small New Zealand company pushing forward in their industry 221 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: with engineering and technology the same way as what we 222 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 2: are in motorsports. So it's not just relevant automotive industry, 223 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: it's all our partners. We're trying to portray that we're 224 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: doing the same as what they are and that's what 225 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 2: gives us that point of difference. 226 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: Tell you what's interesting. I try as hard as I 227 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: can to follow Formula E and I'm still not on 228 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: board because of the battery. It doesn't sound right. The 229 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: cars don't sit on the road the same way. But 230 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: I look at you in an EV and the stuff 231 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: you're doing it looks normal to me. Do you know 232 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: what I mean? 233 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: You Well, to be honest, I'm a little bit the similar, 234 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: the same. You know, our EV as a prototype where 235 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: we're doing it to prove and show how a rally 236 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: car can go fast. And at the end of the day, 237 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: rallying is about taking a car you can buy on 238 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 2: the show and floor and go and racing with it. 239 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 2: You know, formerly one you can't do that. You can't 240 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: buy a Ferrari or McLaren or whatever at your local 241 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: car dealership. So that's our point of difference. But also 242 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: you know, it's not just the electrification, it's also the 243 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: hydrogen that's coming in now, it's to biofuels. Is all 244 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: these different forms of energy that you know, us as 245 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: a Motus Work company, we have to take hold of 246 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: and utilize to see what's the best solution. 247 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: I like hydrogen. Do you like hydrogen? 248 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: To be fair, we are double on it now. Quietly 249 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 2: we've got some hydrogen charging solutions now that we're now 250 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 2: working with with can Dane Zellen, which is the first, 251 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: and then I think hydrogen will play a big part 252 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 2: now sport as well, So there's certainly something that we're 253 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 2: looking into at the present. 254 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: Fantastic, hey listen, go well this weekend and always good 255 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: to catch up with you. Appreciate it very much and 256 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 1: staying up late and all that sort of stuff, and 257 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk again soon. 258 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 2: Great appreciate it.
