It surprises me that so many are focusing on the weight of the codriver. (I know Petter is too...). Petter first concern should rather be the fact that he is trying to replace an absolute first class codriver (Phil Mills) who has been with him for nearly eleven years. Phil has had a nearly telepathic understanding of what Petter needs from his codriver. Phil has been absolutely spot on professional and competent in reading Petters very complex and detailed notes. Just watch the inboard from Ouninpohja 2004 (when they set the record) and try to imagine if it will be easy or difficult for Petter to find a replacement for Phil. It will be damn difficult, In my humble opinion!

Petters order

- Notereading in English
- professional (top level wrc experience)
- Fitness and weight (this rules out Iskald who has heavy bones ;) )

I think you are right, there is not that many good co-drivers with WRC experiense, better would be to focus on the skills that really matters.

There are plenty of codrivers with WRC experience currently doing nothing , like Bernacchini , Guido D'Amore , Glenn MacNeall , Denis Giradeut , Stephane Prevot , Timo Gottschalk , Klaus Wicha , Derek Ringer , Manfred Hiemer ,....

Most of them talk in English.

These are only the ones that come to mind now ;)


And BTW guys Giovanni Bernacchini is one of the best co drivers in Italy and in the world , he has 80 WRC starts ;) And he is extremely small :D

There is interest: http://translate.google.no/translate...n&hl=&ie=UTF-8

I dont think they are just sitting at home doing nothing... humans need to eat to survive you know... plus most of the times codrivers have families to take care of and sometimes jobs or their own businesses.

I know Bernacchini is riding with Nasser and Im almost sure McNeall is codriving in oz, not sure about the rest but they might be codriving as well, dont assume they have no other skill other than codriving!

Must be a winner not loser..

Trouble is I'm not a codriver, but I'm sure that doesn't really matter ;)
