Then if Petter is only a 'MSN PS WRT' driver Citroen mustn`t help him.

Yeah it's really not blackmail... he just said that if they continue refusing to get him the parts to make his car competitive, he'd switch to someone else. After all, it must have been awful in Argentina to be cruising to an easy podium place, so close to the finish, when the car breaks because it can't take the heat.

I think he's shown again that he can compete with Seb and Mikko. I noticed that his times in the mornings when were very good; he lost most of the time in the afternoon when it got hotter.

IMO Citroen should sell him a C4, but I know they won't. Anyway, considering how many cars Conrad Rautenbach wrecks, they may not have many to spare :p

Hmmm... and it seems Hirvonen has 'old Focus' in Argentina 2009 cause his "car breaks because it can't take the heat"? ;)

Petter has an offer to "rent" a C4, but the price is rediculous and he will be left with a car Citroen does what they want with.

As far as we all know, he was keen on getting a 307. A C4 was never considered by Petter WRT.

Petter and Phil in a whale at Acropolis ???? :bounce:

It certainly would be interesting to see Petter throw a whale around Greece.


There is a sentence I never thought I'd say...

Petter will skip Acropolis due to competing in Le Mans the same weekend in the Oreca LMP1? Or has he skipped his sportscars plans?

Come on guys, this is old news. They have also tried to buy one, but Citroen will not have any private C4's out (yet). With the price and limitations of a rented C4, that's not an option for PSWRT

I don't think Petter will do the Le Mans 24 anymore - his plans are full with rallying thankfully.
