Petter Solberg WRT

thanks for clarifying. It makes a lot more sence :) . In the 3 mln pound , is including salary etcetera for his PSWRT and testing, not just rent for the car?

But last year he owned the car, this year its an arrive and drive hire deal plus testing.

And this is the new, lower-cost WRC...

So? Are you saying the budget should be higher or lower this year because of this?

Up front costs can be hire with a total package from Citroen but that probably includes more new parts, last year PSWRT were removing, cleaning, checking and re-fitting parts like dampers etc. I dont know what is included in a deal from Citroen or MSport but I guess it will include service parts changed at works intervals. Also the teams have to re-coup development costs

I see Petter is testing today in Sweden, how many days does he get this year? I see Kimi has twelve not a lot

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

Helping 40 Euro's at a time :)

If what Quesnel says, is right. Petter is paying for an "almost" factory drive. This is much more costly, than owning the car yourself. Last year PSWRT, really had to make a lot of compromises. This probably costed a WRC victory, when they couldn't replace some parts. That surely would have been done in a factory team. Hopefully this year Petter will have access to the best parts.

In the 80's when I was active in motorsport, my best sponsorship was when we got to pick freely from the top shelf. Even when I have to pay for the parts, we could choose whatever fitting our needs best. This was regarding to measuring, weighting and getting everything balanced and working the best with our current setup. Big difference in reliability and performance.

Petters budget has to be 3 mln pound > equals 4,1 mln euro. Sordo had to pay 2,5 mln euro. I am guesing right, the 2,5 is the basic rent price (just for getting a DS3 WRCar on the start), with an estimated 0,5 mln for testdays and 1 mln for replacing items more often (like dampers and gearboxes)?

Testing begins,
