Solberg close to getting a deal to lead a factory team in WRX, so that ends the WRC comeback rumors.

I think that he's enjoying WRX more than he did WRC, it's certainly more suited to his flamboyant style. Too many of the WRC teams seem like hard work to me, I look at how run down and tired that Hirvonen looks at pretty much every round and I wonder why he still does it.
A rallycross driver doesn't even do 5 % of the kilometers a rally driver does with recce and all, so of course it's more work ;)
Solberg should give it a shot at WRC for 2 years with a works team.
I think he lost confidence in WRC as, he was trying hard for that win but now his confidence is UP and surely he will be fast from the word go.
After a season or two he can get back to WRX and win there too.

First win for the peugeot team this year, SOlberg needed second to secure the championship but the rear suspension collapsed in the final so he will be champion in Turkey.
It seems like he is world champion after all.
