On this week's Special Stage Rally Podcast, we delve into last weekend's Adelaide Hills Rally, the fifth round of the Australian Rally Championship.

It saw another masterclass from Kiwi Hayden Paddon, but also ended the title hopes of Harry Bates after he put his Toyota off the road.

We discuss the implications from the weekend, review the performances of some of your favourite drivers, and look ahead to the final round in Tasmania.

Taylor Gill's Rally3 win in Croatia is also on the agenda, as is the upcoming round of the New South Wales Rally Championship.

It's getting close to Alpine Rally time as well, with several drivers already beginning their preparations.

All that and more on this week's Special Stage Rally Podcast.
