Hirvonen wont start because he will be embarassed by how much he is off the pace. Sure he won last year in MSport new Fiesta but I reckon if he had finished Ogier would have beaten him. Cant risk that again in 2011.Quote:

he tested the citroen one for sure...
What will finally do Petter on 2011 ??????????????????
As per attached, seems he is in good terms with Citroen managers....
Olivier Quesnel, director of Citroën Racing and Peugeot Sport, have hired Petter Solberg as a guest-driver for the 2011 IRC opening event Rallye Monte-Carlo. Petter Solberg will drive a Peugeot 207 Super 2000 car.
- I was very surprised when Olivier Quesnel, director of Citroën Racing and Peugeot Sport, contacted me and asked if I would be a guest-driver for the 2011 IRC Rallye Monte-Carlo in January, says Petter Solberg. – Of course I had to accept! The manufacturer team will run the car, and they wanted to hire me for this event to secure a good result for the team. As for me, this means more competitive kilometres in a rally car and a new experience, as I have not entered an IRC event before. There is also live coverage of some of the stages, which will be exciting. This is a one–time arrangement, and I have no plans for a future in the IRC. My plan is still to be in the WRC, and fight for the championship in 2011
Petter is always welcom at Citroen.... as long as he pays enough. The S2000 for Monte Carlo does not costs that much extra for Peugeot (dealer team France :) . It is more using Petter for publicity then warming up a 2011 deal. If Petter has succes, Citroen can claim that the IRC is second class rally beaten by a Citoen driver. If he fails, they stiill have succes as they do with Kimi Raikkonen
I instrument wow powerleveling name you for the twist wow accounts WU Li-kindness, in the coming buy wow gold present return you! " He'd cheap wow gold out of text really, but in this slim present, the perception wow gold ears of the grouping .
Anyway, good luck to Petter and Chris for their new challenge in Monte-Carlo next month :bounce:
Same here, I also belive works drivers drives where they are told to drive, what comes to last years monte both Mikko and Juho played quite safe with the tyre choises, Mikko also did not value the win very high, after all the entry makes the rally, not the name of the rally.Quote:
