Petter Solberg WRT

[Sulland]

Lets look ahead and continue the discussion on Petters new Team here !

Petter asked some top brass Citroen person "what if I am faster than your factory drivers in this old car?"
answer was:……ehhhh… we don’t zink that is gonna heppen

Petters only question mark is the 06 engine on the Xsara, I guess there is also a question if Citroen has given him the best engine mapping available?

If not is this something his engineers can do something with ? I guess they had to get the software to play with the engine, otherwise they will have a challenge !
This is all software is it not, this thing you refer to as mapping, or is it also hardware inside the engine ?

I doubt that won't be too high in the results since the privateers haven't performed so well lately.

But I take my hat off for his attitude!

Petter said on radio today that he has full control on everything except the engine, Citroen has control over the engine.

I think I will let OldF (or someone else much better than me) explain about ecu mapping

Citroen will only let them have a selection of mappings. The mappings is the software, but much testing and development is put into this. Sw controls everything, so if citroen doesn't give him the best they have. He will not stand a chance. So if top Citroen people say he will not beat c4, he probably will not.

But they need too turn of the boost to get him behind Sordo
