John Kennard (co-driver)

John Kennard (born 11 February 1959) is a rally co-driver born in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Rally career
Kennard has been a co-driver to numerous drivers, the most notable being Hayden Paddon at Hyundai motorsport. They had their first win at Rally Argentina in.

In March 2017 it was announced that Kennard would step down as Paddon's co-driver after Rally Finland and that a replacement for Kennard would be announced soon. The replacement was confirmed the day after to be Kevin Abbring's co-driver Sebastian Marshall.

Kennard suffered a hip injury prior to the 2017 Rally de Portugal, which meant Marshall had to substitute for Kennard for the rally. On 30 May, Kennard retired as co-driver earlier than what was planned, because of the injury.

Kennard was voted Marlborough Sportsperson of the Year in 2016, succeeding Sophie MacKenzie.
