petter's popularity is MASSIVE

WRC NEEDS PETTER BACK...................... in action

From the ken Rees comment from above I bet petter will do european rallycross this year. There was a site awhile back saying M-sport were looking to enter rallycross so it would seem to make sense.
i wonder if there is more money in the sale & servicing of a rallycross car or a stage car? Block m-sport car seems pretty quick compared to the Olsberg fiestas.2009 Colorado Rally Cup Champion & 2009 CHCA Rookie Of the Year

I guess it is too late for a Dakar adventure for him this year. But to get training on asphalt, he should do GT/ endurance racing.

I too a gutted to hear this sad news, but to be honest we all knew it was coming.
As for the possible PS link with M-sport before Christmas news.... perhaps that Pikes peak attempt will come about?

Sad news. I've been rooting for him since the beginning. It has been hard seeing all the premature exits over the years, but even this year, he proved he still has it when things are going well. I sometimes think 'what if Loeb had never entered the WRC? Would Petter be a multiple time champion?' (well, maybe not with Subaru, with the plethora of mechanical failures they had near the end)
I too think this will be a McRae-style "retirement." I could see him back in some form in 2013, even if just for a couple of rallies. (come on, Petter, at least do Finland!)

Unfortunate the way things turn out. He and his personality will be missed.

He will end up in GRC (Global Rally Cross) , with a M-Sport Ford
Passion will make you crazy, but is there a other way to live ? :burnout:
