What?!?!?! Chris is clearly doing better that Petter at the moment and next years rallies are no better for the Subaru than the ones it's underperformed on for the last 3 years

Well this car certainly is make or break for prodrive. And I agree that if this car isn't competitive out of the box, that means able to win rallies this year, than they won't in the future. And it indeed could be the end for Subaru in WRC, at least it will be for prodrive.
Chris is doing better than Petter this year, but only because Petter has been unlucky.
In MC I admit Chris was impressive,but Petter still got his best ever finish there.
In Sweden, Petter was consitent and impressive. Chris was on-off and showed he still has a lot to learn.
In Mexico, Chris again was good, but without a dog and a rare caliper problem, Petter would have third.
If Petter had got third in Mexico, no-one would be raving about Chris anymore than Petter. I'd be willing to put my house on Petter getting more points by GB than Chris.
As always:
Blood, sweat and tears...
Fact of the matter is Chris has showed more drive than Petter. He drove to third in the Monte. Subaru's best finish on the Monte for a few years. Petter just looks to be losing his drive and although he may well do better this year than Chris I think he's well past his best and next year Atkinson will be ahead of Petter.Quote:

Daniel you are arguing with a guy named pettersolrberg29 about peter solberg....do you really think its worth it ???
He has you there Daniel.
Still give it a go. I'm interested to see if you can win the unwinnable argument :)
If the new Subaru isn't fighting for first within 6 months or so, it would not surprise me in the least to see Subaru cry "enough!" and pull out altogether.
I hope Subaru won't pull the plug anyway... we need to keep all cars and hope for new manu to enter, not the other way round !
And yes I can see Petter very unlucky, I think he needs at least 1-2 strong results to get confidence and moral thus deliver what he can really give.
But before there were the other faster cars, now also Chris ahead (and sometimes even private Subaru ^^), it's not going to be easy.
Probably not :pQuote:
