Hard to find sponsors, hard to get a drive.
I'd really like to know what and when Petter has done something that prevents him to get a proper ride from Citroen or from Ford. If someone as crap as Sordo has been driving years for Citroen, why not Petter? There must be something that has happened behind the scenes.
Petter drove for Ford early in his career and then left to go to Subaru. He was offered a Focus for last season but decided to go with Citroen as he saw he had a better chance with them. Best move for then. Not so good now.....
There is many different ways to move from team to other, Petters has maybe not been the smartest ones, also throwing in the towel like he did in 1000 Lakes starting sunbathing on the hood, was maybe funny for his fans, but not so good for the team to put many peoples work and millions of money in the drain purely for egoistics reasons.Quote:

*Citroen had Sordo, who was doing an excelent job as wingman. Solberg would never play second fiddle, which is the only available job in the Frech team for a non Frenchman.
* Ford had 2 Fins with a bright shining future doing an excelent job.
Solberg was after 2008 in the wrong place at the wrong time, with no factory seats available leaving no other option then being a privateer in WRC. Which means bringing money to teams, instead of getting money from factory teams. And money was hard to get when the world economie had a big blow.
1st January 2011. and still nothing firm about Petters WRC chances! has anyone got a clue whats happening???? Monte IRC is great, and maybe a good clue, but is anyone going to break cover??
Spot on assessment.Quote:

So, at the moment it seems that Solberg PR machine is working at his best. So, who talks about S.Loeb or S. Ogier.. ah jeah right they drive Citroen like they have done for last x seasons.
Solberg? much more interesting topic. You know, he might drive for Ford or Citroen or maybe even WTCC or maybe even Le Manse?..wait..lets talk more about him.. Everybody who are interested in WTCC, Le Manse, Ford, Citroen, WRC and now even IRC are interested about his everyday work.. that is publicity, exposure etc..
Good job. Everything might be decided already but it is still valuable horse to sell...
They want him to hire the car.. And what's that - only loosing.. Now at least he has cars from last two seasons..
