Category: NZ Non Fiction | Reading Level: near fine

Hayden Paddon was just a boy growing up in Geraldine - in love with racing and dreaming big. Starting with nothing, and wholly determined to beat the odds, he set out on a remarkable 20-year pathway to the World Rally Championship, where he footed it with the best rally drivers on the planet. But it did n't come easy. In Driven, Paddon details the many highs and lows along the road to the top.

It's the real account from Paddon himself, in his own words, as he sets the record straight about his dramatic life on and off the road. Driven is captivating, complex and inspirational - a mile-a-minute biography that celebrates self-belief, hard work, and turning dreams into a reality. ...Show more
