So all already devellop S2000 cars have to be re enigineerd to a S1600 turbo?

Not the next generation S2000 cars but the next generation WRC cars! :dozey:

Pougeot should support Solberg switching to a 307, he could put them on top of the podium again!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha (breath) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!
Brilliant, just brilliant. Best joke I have heard in ages.

Why?

1. Pug is old car
2. Pug = PSA = Citroen, so if Citroen doesn't support Solb, why would Pug do that?
3. Solberg is quick, but to get on the first spot with old car would be miraculous... :)

HaCo: I don't think that Peugeot 307 spec. 06 is worse than Xsara spec. 05. 307 06 was pretty succesfull car with Stohl and Henning. Both made their best results with it ;)

car would not necessarily be from Peugeot (Olivier Quensel) but sourced from a satellite team e.g Bozian. Also remember that FX engineered the 307, and like a few cars before (Ford Escort Mk2 stopped being a factory car in 1979, and had some notable successes with Ari, after that and to a lesser extent with the Corolla WRC in 2000 with Markko) the 307 evolved into a better car after it ended its 'factory team' life. The engines of the 307 are built by Pipo abd are very strong. There is no reason why a PSWRT 307 wouldnt challenge for a podium. Quensel / Loeb combination wont give Petter any chance of upseting the corporate goal of PSA.

Excellent joke. On his very very best day Solberg is not worthy of doing up Loebs belts. I'd bet big money that Loeb doesn't ly awake at night worrying about Petter beating him. ;)
