Petter Solberg WRT

The mechanics from PSWRT are from FXG Racing in France. Top rally mechanics change teams quite often, its not a career with a lot of job stabilty!. Almost everything else is a physical asset, trucks, awnings etc. These csn be sold or used in racing, rallycross, irc or whatever.

I't s a good option but it would be a pity of all the money invested in the Solberg WRT. He's so close to winning on 'own force'.

This is probably spot on, running in the "A" team will give him insuranse of having the best (latest) parts on his car, nobody knows the rules for "B" teams yet.

I guess we will see that his car will look wery different from Loeb/Ogier car, how (much) he can incorporate PSWRT into the manu team will be down to negotiation.

Being entered by the official Citroën team will offcource also ensure them that they wont be beat by a privater ;)

Not everything in place yet, but close:

I know Petter wants to win, but I rather see Petter win in IRC than slowing down by team order for the Sebastians in WRC.

Ditto.
If Petter is going to win a rally anytime soon, it has got to be RallyGB this year, doesnt it?
I mean, Leob has the title already, Ford seem to have lost the plot totally IMO or are focusing on the future, and Ogier may be the only real competitor with maximum motivation.

Go Petter!

I think it has a chance in Catalunya with the first day being gravel. He has a good start position on Friday and enough pace on tarmac.

Don't think so. Both manufacturers and pilots will want to add a line in their résumés : " Winner of the last 2l WRC rally. "

Hard to read into that, whether its a PR exercise for Citroen Norway (obviously!) or a ploy to show his commitment to the Citroen brand to sway the decision of Mr Quesnel for the 2011 season
