Here it is:

Petter Solberg fikk ny bil

Petter Solberg had a new car

and here

And what extra performance does the new Xsara have? the 2005 car Petter had was the latest develloped model of the Xsara as I understood.
Is it know which car manufacturer he will meet tomorrow?

Appearently, he was "threatening" to change make if he didn't get the newest possible car from Citroen.

No confirmation on his webpage, but this seems very reliable!

Not only that!On motorsport.no he says that if his car still doesn't work he will switch to another in Acropolis.Also,he told that had a word with Ford as well...!!! :)

Burcu Cetinkaya will compete in 4 rounds of WRC (Poland,Finland,Spain,GB) with the new Fiesta R2.

Great News... :) Burcu really deserves that :)

There is a rumor that Robert Kubica has bought Skoda Fabia WRC. It is not yet know what are his plans with it. Possibly rally Poland? But there will be some difficulties as he is working for BMW but Skoda belongs to VW group :-)

Ford won't give him a latest spec car either so i'm not sure what he hopes to achieve with that.

As I have heard, the new Fiesta will be homologated beginning of July, so how can she do Poland with the car??

Otherwise allways a pleasure to see a fast nice looking girls in rallies...

Even wrc.com have written about Solberg considering a switch to the 307.

But as it seems now, Petter is going to get the parts he wants for the Xsara.
