After his good results probably Solberg is trying to get his hand on something more modern than his current Xsara. I hope he does.

As suggested before maybe Ford should take a look onto this matter, maybe building and all Solberg Stobart team.

Those who say they know what they are talking about :p : say that putting those two in the same team is not a good idea. They are almost ready to start ww3 over a Playstation game ;)

Raut bought his own place in CJT.
Ogier has strong links with Citroen and CitRacing will try to made a 'new Loeb' from him.

Yes but Ogier's programme was for the first 6 rounds and then it would be reviewed. I think Ogier has had the most difficult events in the WRC for him, many of these rallies he had not seen in his JWRC year. Now whilst I am admittedly a fan of Ogier and do believe in his ability, maybe a step away from the top, maybe in a Pug 207 or selected i.e. strong events for him would do him more good than harm. Also we have to remember that Chris was hoping to do more rallies in teh Citroen, and Citroen were hopeful of that, at present that seems unlikely so maybe there is a C4 waiting...........it would look good in Johs Lunde colours. photoshop and time on your hands anyone?

Surely Citroen could use some of their share of the 6 Billion Euro bailout from the French tax payers to fund a top spec car for Petter. :)
