His 'biggest' option is the only motorsport with less manufacturers than the WRC. That's a bit dire!Quote:

lol his talks gets more amusing as time goes by, last year at this time he was teaming up with Bosse or Kimi even those did know nothing about it, wonder what that unfinished business might be.Quote:

I see WTCC allows 2 litre turbo diesel - would a PS- TTE - Auris -turbodiesel combination or TMR - Impreza - turbodiesel make marketing sense ?
The X-Drive BMW is a great choice for Norwegian customers with a good 3-5 months of rough winters, but very few people buy them as the price is ridiculous. It's not BMWs fault, but the insane taxes put on cars in Norway.Quote:

Anyways, it really doesn't matter what brand Petter drives for, he'll promote them like crazy and they'll sell really well. Citröen was struggling in Norway, and had for some time. Petter raised sales with an amazing 67%(!!). Just goes to show that you can put Petter in anything, he's a great ambassador for whatever brand he promotes.
The sad thing is that the top of his wish-list this Christmas was to drive in the WRC for 2011. And even though he's one of the absolute best drivers out there he still have to PAY to drive, it's just wrong on so many levels. I can not believe how ****ed up the WRC has become. Why doesn't FIA or the car manufacturers see the madness?! Could you imagine legends like Pele having to PAY to play soccer? Or Lance Armstrong pay to ride his bike in Tour de France? I love this sport but things are just so very wrong right now.
When Mercedes Benz withdrew from rallying at the end of 1980, they left Walter Rhorl without a regular drive apart from the occasional drive in a Porsche. Waste of WRC rally driving talent is something that has occurred for a long time.
Do the authorities in Norway have a lower taxation rate for hydrogen powered cars ? How well is the hydrogen network working ?
Is there a hydrogen version of any of the WTCC cars ?
