1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: So we've got good good news from motorsport. Hayden Padden

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: is the first New Zealander ever to be invited to

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: compete into the Race of Champions. Now, what's the Race

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: of Champions as an event that started in the eighties

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: originally for rally drivers went in to include though because

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 1: the others got on board and they thought this is

7
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: a bit of fun. I'll be into it. Schumark has

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: been on it, vetl Alonzo Jensen button next year. It's

9
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: coming to Australia, first time in the Southern Hemisphere, so

10
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: that's exciting. Sebastian Lobe is also going to feature against Padden,

11
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: who is with us Hayden morning, Yeah, morning, way, very exciting, definitely.

12
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: It's something one of those things that you always watched

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: as a kid, so to be part of it's pretty surreal.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: What's the format, what literally will you be doing and

15
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: where will it be done?

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 2: So it's based in a stadium. It's very similar to

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: super special stages that we're having rallies where you have

18
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: two cars up against each other racing alongside at a

19
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: big stadium. You've got a crossover bridge, so the cars

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: crossover and basically the first car across the finish nine wins,

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: and it's an elimination process, so all the cars are

22
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: eliminated and that with one winner.

23
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: Fantastic your car or their car. It's a sort of

24
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: equal cars, I take it.

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they get along three different types of cars, so

26
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: when you're racing your opponent, you're in the same cars

27
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: as each other, but throughout the vent you're constantly changing cars,

28
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: so you can never adapt.

29
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, are they radically different cars? Do you know?

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? They change every year. Last year they had sex

31
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: on the horse power rally cross cars. They had some

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: single seed of cars. You've seen rally cars in the past.

33
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: It's a huge varity, so we won't know what cars

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 2: were driving exactly until closer to the event.

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: And so what we've got so far Sebastian Lobes and

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: he he sort of knows what he's doing, doesn't he.

37
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: He's one that a few times as well. Yeah, you're

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: up again. It's literally the best of the best. See,

39
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: they've already got Sebastian Vistil and Mix Schumacher, Peter Soldberg,

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: Jamie wind Cap and they'll be up to twenty drivers,

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: so yeah, there'll be a lot of top names that's incredible.

42
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: See win Cup. So you're in a supercar, you're entire

43
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how much racing he's done outside of supercars,

44
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: but how adaptable? Is it a skill to be an

45
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: adaptable as opposed to just being brilliant at one thing?

46
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Like I think Shane van Gisbergson's probably the

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: prime example, and that'll be an adaptible across many forms

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: of motorsport. But it's a good skill they have because

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: it means under different conditions in your sport you can

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: adapt quite easily. But yeah, it suits some people more

51
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: than others. I'd say it probably suits more a Raleigh

52
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: background because the type of stage and setting that it's

53
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: in is similar to what we do in our sport,

54
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: so it's a bit harder for the circuit guys.

55
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Fantastic. Where are you at in the moment? What are

56
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: you doing?

57
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: Well? We've got one round less in New Zealand Rally

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Championship with Rally fung Ray next week and then we're

59
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: into our off season preparing for next year. So yeah,

60
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: we've had a pretty good season this year, so it's

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: about how we build on that and make it bigger

62
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: and better for next.

63
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Year, fantastic, always good to talk to you. I appreciate

64
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: it very much. Hate and Pat and that, by the way,

65
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: is next year and the event is in Australia. It'll

66
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: be in Sydney and so you've got some serious talent

67
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: there which is super exciting. For more from the mic
