WRC Legend Hayden Paddon On Devastating Monte Carlo Incident
Episode Description
In 2017, Hayden Paddon's car slid off the road at Rally Monte Carlo and a photographer lost his life.
It was ruled an accident - nothing he could have done, but he didn't return to Monte Carlo for eight years.
But this January, in a wild twist of his career, a last-minute WRC call-up meant he had to.
Six weeks of panic attacks later, he started the rally, finished it slower than he ever has, and didn't care - because finishing was the point.
His takeaway: running from it for eight years fixed nothing - watch or listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, it was a pleasure to have Hayden on.
