Petter Solberg WRT

Wasn't there a boat manufacturer or something at one stage? Edit - that was Lunde when he had the Xsara.

What does Petter need to be comfortable (ie not worry about having one gearbox and one whatever) for a full season? If Sordo can do 9 WRC events in a Fiesta for €1m presume we're talking €1.75 or so for a full season and twice that in a DS3?

I just dont get how this man has to struggle so much when hes proven that he is still a class act and a great part of this championship! Everyone I spoke to at the weekend said how great Petter was and how boring Loeb, Sordo and co are, the companies should be able to see who gets all the attention!

Check your history, the sponsor that let Petter down has done it to others in the passed, in rallycross. For fear of litigation I am not about to name them, but I have enough energy.

Why would he keep a sponsor logo on the car if they have let him down? ;)

It costs money to re-paint a car :)

Most racing cars use vinal stickers over a base paint colour dont they? Im 99% sure ive seen the Fords being stickered up somewhere.

They don't paint sponsors on! It's all vinyl stickers with logos and words and colors etc. Only one color is the car. Yello!

Mmmmh possibility to see Petter Solberg at the next 24 hours of Le Mans race ??? :)

Nope, the yellow on Petters car was also vinyl!

Petter should look for a drive in IRC, it would be much better than to lose him from rallying.

Yes exactly what I think also :up: . It would be also verry good for the marketing of IRC and for Petter Solberg with much news in the press and on TV.
WRC are for much rally fans no longer important and the name WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP no longer worth.
I have already seen on Facebook of several forum members that they don´t read the forum no longer. At present time we see for every word and rumour a new thread started, especially by new and also younger members.
I miss many members and friends here which came with good information and told no B!!llsh!t. We even had time to make a joke instead of telling nonsense. :confused:
