Noooo! :(

Somewhere it was quoted that he would miss only the last round of the season because of the missing sponsor, so was that news translated wrong or will he really miss all the rounds after Finland then?

Miika, perhaps you could do the good translation because the news is from Finland, just here :

Aaa so the MTV3 one is the original one. It says something like this:

"Losing a sponsor irritates Solberg


Petter Solberg is losing one of his biggest long-term sponsors in the middle of the season.

Hurtigruta Carglass is quitting the sponsoring because of problems within the company.

- I have had their sticker on my windscreen since I was 18. Now they are leaving in the middle of the season, and they won´t be with us at the next rally. If I dont find a new sponsor, I will miss the last round of the season.

Running a private rally team is not cheap. The budget of Petter Solberg World Rally Team is close to 7 million euros a year.

- I won´t continue as a privateer next year. This (rallying as a privateer) is damn hard. It would be a different thing just to drive for fun, than to pursuit for a seat in a factory team.

This is Solberg´s third year as a privateer. This year there were some slight changes in the organisation when Citroen offered their helping hand.

-The team is still mine but Citroen´s people are responsible for it. I still have full control of things but now I just want to drive and test so that we can see if we can make the car quicker."

Thanks Miika, I think it's from a MTV3 video but I can't see it outside of Finland
