Hayden Paddon has made history as the first New Zealander to win a world rally championship and he's taking to the road to celebrate with Kiwi fans up and down the country.

Paddon won the Production World Rally Championship category at four consecutive rallies - another record-making achievement - on his way to securing the championship title. The 24-year-old New Zealander arrives home from his last event in the United Kingdom to start a nationwide road-show in Auckland on Wednesday 23 November.

"I'm really looking forward to celebrating with Kiwi rally fans next week," says Paddon, who hails from Geraldine.

"I'm travelling in a Subaru STI which carries the same livery as our championship-winning rally car and I'll be visiting 12 PlaceMakers branches, Subaru dealerships and other venues throughout the country, from Auckland to Dunedin.

"We'll have Subaru posters and driver cards to be signed or people can bring along something of their own they want autographed. We have merchandise to give away and we've been able to create a fantastic prize pack with the support of PlaceMakers and Rally New Zealand. To enter to win two rally rides with me, team clothing, a $250 PlaceMakers voucher and two spectator passes to WRC Rally New Zealand in June next year, simply come along to see me at any of the locations listed below and fill in an entry form. It's free to enter and all the entries from all our locations around the country go in to win this great prize."
