Symtech Racing and Hayden Paddon also win in Finland!
Production World Rally Championship, Rally Finland 2011
By winning once more in Finland last weekend, Hayden Paddon has notched up his third consecutive PWRC victory in the Subaru Impreza STR11 prepared by Belgian team Symtech Racing. With yet another success under his belt, Paddon consolidates his lead of the 2011 PWRC.
Winning in Finland has always been something special, as any driver who is able to see off all the local specialists who know the roads so well, definitely has a great talent. Furthermore, the car also plays a very important role. As Symtech Racing's Wim de Boeck explains: « There are two key factors to the car in Finland: top speed and suspension. The stages are extremely fast there with several big jumps. Consequently we worked hard on our Subaru Impreza STR11 for this rally, in order to get the speed and the damping exactly right. Our work has been rewarded by a very-well deserved victory from Hayden, who showed his class from the very start. »
