Not driving in the same team as Seb.

Googel translation:
Petter Solberg aims to participate with their own team at home.
The Rally Norway which starts 12.februar we either see youngest brother Solberg in his own team or as we see he is not at all.
- Will I, will be with my own team, Petter Solberg Team, "said Solberg, even to NRK.
- I'm still feverish with obtaining a car, but one thing is certain. I will not run in the team with Sebastien Loeb in the Citroën, "says Doe. I will attend on their own.
Citroën or Ford
World from 2003 starts to get extremely bad time, but can not say what kind of car he may want to run.
- It is either a car from Citroën or Ford, but it is fifty-fifty which team it is, continues Spydeberg None.
- There are many rumors about both the one and the other, but nothing is clear. I will be in many meetings, and hopefully will be ready next week.
Entry to Rally Norway
Solberg is already registered to Rally Norway, but must get all the pieces in place. He should probably even pay the full gilde if participation at home should be a fact.
- If nothing else, I will participate for the fans and the rally interested. I would like to give a little back, but it is difficult now. There are so many pieces that must be in place.
- The next days will show whether we will see Petter Solberg in Rally Australia held 12-15 February, end Solberg.
Google translation is very funny, nearly as bad english as Petter Solberg himself. And if Petter is trying to enter Rally Australia 12-15 February, he is in for a surprise...!Quote:

Plus given that Solberg has the runs on the board and did well in a non-tarmac car (where the rain played a pivotal role no doubt) I think it's up to Sordo to show he is better; win a rally on tarmac in at least similar fashion and i'll strongly consider him to be better but atm it's all puff. PSRT in c4s will be interesting to see whether Petter can be competitive or will continue to blame the car, would love to see Atko out in the C4 for Norway as well as a true comparisonQuote:

It all depends on how much money he is willing to spend from his own pocket. I think his addiction to rally driving possibly is stronger than his sexual drive, so that should count in the right direction. But on the other hand, "Scrooge" Solberg is not very happy to spend his own money. We`ll see...Quote:

Petter Solberg is in discussion about 2010 with Fiat today in Italy. This is according to NRK.no..
If Petter does sign something with them early, it would be nice to see him run the rest of this year in a Punto, either in IRC or WRC :)Quote:

Of course, we are the real multimega billionaires of Europe!Quote:

It's huge paradox if Petter don't get sponsorship in the light of Henning's continual sponsorship -as we all know there is difference of light years between brothers.Quote:

I'd sugest you stop visiting their site until something official appears on Petter website or any other RELIABLE source, i'm gettin' a little sick of this peoples idiots roumors and gossip, they seem like the E! channel.
Other than that, it's funny how some people still believe these so called rumurs (i call them gossip) and go: oooohh!, aaahhh!, c4, focus, fiat.... next friday the rumor will be: petter is driving to the moon on a superhighway built by Wilson and Quesnel, and on a CFocus S2000+ on green fuel...
By the way, i'd like to see him driving a C4, but i'm pretty sure that WON'T happen.
Cheers.
I'm already struggling to recall a rally car that hasn't been mentioned in this thread related to Petter's 2009 season. :p :
News on http://www.norsk-rally.com/index.php...roen-xsara-wrc
Petter bought a Xsara yesterday, togheter with two engines and gearboxes. Doesn't say much just that it's likely that thats the car he'Il be using on Rally Norway.
Petter has bought Xsara... :confused: Is not this an old car for some one who ounly want the best.......?
http://www.norsk-rally.com/
If he get's same spec as Kronos did in 2007, then he is totally tricked - i promise. Some parts were 2004 spec... If he get's 2006 Loeb spec or anything later than that, then he may have OK chances for a podium.Quote:

and on SS6 he will be changing to the Impreza and then the rally will be over...Quote:

Like c'mon, those dudes at Norsk Rally are getting annoying :D
Can't wait until Petter has bought a Lancia Stratos plus a Mini Cooper S as a reserve car!
This is the soap The Bold & The beautyfull..Petter plays Ritch Forrester!
and waht if he gets an offer to run in a peugeot 206? aw! such a variety of choices he's got.....
I heard he stole my Peugeot 206 1.6 Sport and that he's gonna run full season with it - witout mechanics.Quote:

I'm sure he would do minimum as good in a whale, and a team like Bozian would cheer him to have a program in WRC09... :rolleyes:
If he bought a Xsara, I hope its a plan B car, or maybe he is gonna use it for testing.. I guess its quite similar to the C4.. For the 2010 season he is now in Italy negotiating with Fiat! I guess he's quite busy and is all over the places and talking to every team there is out there!

The money he is spending flying around in his private jet :D you can buy any kind of wrc car !! :D :DQuote:

He's also in talks with a team to run in the Mexican Rally Championship (wich includes SS that feature shooters and stone-throwers that competitors have to avoid) from 2009 til 2012 (precisely december 12) in a LADA WRC+ (wrc+ nitrous)
No, the jets are still in the air! I guess that it brings him a nice paycheck!
You can, but they do not want to sell them to him !!!Quote:
