Petter Solberg WRT

ususally bad results derive from the compnent which is located between the steering wheel and the seat and less on the enineers. team managers and other staff especially in 1 driver teams where there is no favouritism.

Solbergs choices are quite limited.

He makes a good point though....Petter really doesn't have a massive choice of cars to drive :(

The C4 was highly optimized when Petter at last got it, while the DS3 (M1s) obviously is evolving a lot in it's first season. And we see the results now. I doubt Petter has much to put on the table, after losing the Hurtigruta Carglass sponsor this summer, now running with a blank windscreen.

I think also Quesnel has put a firmer hand on Petter this season, to avoid him stealing any points off Ogier's title hunt. After all Petter had 8 podiums, 5 2nd places in 2010, which repeat would have done exactly that.

So it's not much more to expect from this situation.

+1 I agree.

If he doesn't get VW I think we will have seen the last of him. I am also not sure if he did get VW whether he would be happy to muck around in an s2000 for a year. I read that VW drivers will not event get to use the Dakar equipment at all, which would wipe out half the fun of driving for them.

VW is a big company - maybe he can get a drive in the DTM, or some Sportscar drives in either a GT2 Porsche 911 or Audi LMP1...

Vids of the One-Man Show :arrow: Solberg Extreme Motorshow:

Petter Solberg i jåttåvågen - YouTube

Solberg Extreme Motorshow 2011 - YouTube

Solberg Extreme Motorshow - YouTube

Is that Henning's rallycross Fiesta ? Did the show have a health warning printed on the ticket ? Were gas masks available for hire ??

Who does he think he is? Ken Block?

Thar might help him actually. People would throw money at him then and we would not have to rationalize the "good" aspect of him only getting points. I am quite sick of seeing him mid pack, if he cannot find "IT" in his bank account or negotiating skills I think that he should leave and do something that will not put so much pressure on him as he still has something to offer in motorsport.
