Matthew Wilson Story

Can anybody explain the 5th years plan of Ford with Mikko and Petter?

Malcom Wilson about the targets of his son.
"The targets are to try and finish all the rallies and get the experience. On the odd stage on certain events we see the performance is there on some of the splits, so I am not bothered. We have a five-year plan like we have done with Mikko and like we did with Petter too. So there are no specific results orientated targets, it is more a case of building up that invaluable experience, which you need now to be a top driver."

I think the Subaru money got in the way of their plan for Petter.

What do you believe he will do in Argentina ??? :p :


Driver points finish ??? ;)

... which came after Wilson continued to refuse given Petter a contract. So Subaru snatched he two hot youngsters of that time, Petter Solberg and privateer Corolla driver Markko Martin.

was Martin not also 'snatched' from Ford/MSport?

well if u look at it 13 wrc cars giveing retirments i would say a points finish is possible because of the limited amount of wrcs in the rally

He didnt refuse a contract he just wasnt happy about giving the type of contract that Petter wanted. They matched Prodrive money wise according to what it says in Rallycourse 2001. I dont think you can really point the finger at Malcolm as I firmly believe Petter would not have made it if Wilson hadn't taken a massive chance on him.

Pitty the electrical problems Matt had in Argentina :mark:
