I believe that at this stage last year he still needed 10% of his budget, and he still had to pay out his own pocket for the last 2 rounds. So needing 30% is not good news - it seems he may have to win one of the first 3 or 4 rounds if he wants to attract sponsors for a full championship.

Wasn't it the last three rounds he had to pay for out of his own pocket last year?
You're right though, I hope he at least wins one round(if not, more) close to the beginning of the season. I still say he should have had a win last year, if not GB, then certainly Japan.

Hi there! My first post here!

What about the fans doing the same thing that happened with PG Andersson for Rally Sweden?

Welcome!

I thought about that too, however Petter needs 3,000,000 pounds whereas PG only needed 50,000 pounds!

3 miljoen is for the whole season or just the last 4 rallies? Sordo had to bring 2,5 miljoen (euro?) for 13 rallies in the DS3 WRC.

I feel glad Malcolm Wilson couldn't "steal" Solberg P from Citroën Racing(too much Fiestas already invades WRC scene to my taste) :)

Petter says he needs 3 million more, so that suggests the whole budget he needs is 10 million and he already has 7 million. This is all in GBP. It's a lot of money!

I am confused :confused: Sordo had to pay 1,5 million euro to Ford if he wanted to do 10 WRC rallies, and 2,5 million euro to Citroen for a full season.

Petter wants a budget of 10 mln GBPonds > equals 15,9 USDollar > 11,5 Euro > 92,1 Norwegian Kroon? Does a full season WRCar - 13 rallies plus some testing - in the WRC cost 10 mln Pond/Dollar/Euro?

No, let me clarify:

Petter needs 10 million kroner, which is 30 % of his total budget. That means his total budget is approx 33 million kroner. In GBP this is around 3 million. So he is missing a little under one million pounds.

Oh sorry - my currency converting is all over the place. All I know is last year he needed 30 million kroner, and this season he wants a bit more so 33 million kroner sounds right. 30% equals 10 million kroner so yes, he needs 1 million GBP. Sorry for the confusion!
