From my guess it was a portfolio of sponsors from the Nordic (note not Scandinavian) countries. A Norwegian, Swede and Finn in the same team. At this stage in the game lots of things nearly happen, and then change and dont become public knowledge.........

You would hope that there would be sponsor interest in such a high profile pairing. I mean that is a proper team that packs a punch. Two ex-World Champions. Hopefully some companies will step in to make it happen.

lol, yes sure, but Grönholm has always made good contracts, and been driving Fords now after he stopped too, somehow i have a feeling that he would get better terms and equipment by him self, a little same situation like with Kimi.

If Marcus will drive in Sweden he will drive with a Ford. :up:
I reed this on a website in Sweden!
Grönholm says this"Jag älskar tävlingen och vill vara med ännu en gång. Men någon större comeback har jag inte planerat".
• Det har pratats om att du skulle slå dig samman med Petter Solberg?
– "Ja, men det blir nog inte det utan jag kör Ford i så fall".
• Är det helt klart?
– "Inte hundra. Men det löser sig säkert".

Grönholm is Finland-svensk. Naturally he's be speaking Swedish...

I presume you can't read it and want a translation. Itäs just a slight variation of Norther English dialect really.

Grönholm says this"Jag älskar tävlingen och vill vara med ännu en gång. Men någon större comeback har jag inte planerat".
• Det har pratats om att du skulle slå dig samman med Petter Solberg?
– "Ja, men det blir nog inte det utan jag kör Ford i så fall".
• Är det helt klart?
– "Inte hundra. Men det löser sig säkert".

"I love the race and want to be there yet one more time.
But any bigger comeback I have not planned."

*Interviewer: "people have said that you should throw yourself in with Petter Solberg.."
"Yeah, but it won't happen without driving Ford in such case"

*Interviewer: "is that completely done (deal)?

"Not (one)Hundred (percent). But it'll solve itself certainly"

Happy NOT?
NOT not happy? hur faen kunde det ske?

Petter in C4 in Rally Sweden.

Thanks Micke - lets hope he can battle up top for a win rather than for a podium.

I believe he will drive a C4, and have for a while. But(big but) it's possible to change car even that he entered with C4.. So there is a possibility that he will enter in something different..

Yes, in the same class you can change your car.

Petter has bought two Citroen C4 WRC from Citroen Sport. Budget expected to be in place during next week, announcement about the team for 2010 short after that.

Petter Solberg will drive a Citroën C4 WRC, 2009 spec, in 2010. Two rally-cars are bought from Citroën Racing, and Petter will use both cars in the 2010 championship.

- After several, and tough, discussions with Citroën Racing, we have now come to an agreement, which enables me to really fight in top, says Petter Solberg. – We hope to have the full budget in place at the end of next week, and hope to present the 2010 Petter Solberg World Rally Team and sponsors just after.

Fantastic news.
Im wondering how much control he has over the cars in terms of engine mappings etc.
12th January 2010, 18:41

Engine mappings etc. of clients can't be like works cars obviously. Unless you are another Sebastian ... then you take 2010 spec ^^

No more homologation allowed for WRcar in 2010 so, all factory cars will be 2009 spec. 2010 cannot exist.

That's damn good news :) ohh boy and poor Ford are still stuck with JML and with more tarmac in 2010 they won't stand a chance on any of the titles.

It's gonna be a walkover from Citroën.

PS: Do you know if PSWRT will be an M2/MT team? - or if they will stay out of the pathetic teamorders from both Ford and Citroën.

PSWRT will for sure get no teamorders from Ford :rolleyes:
But if Loeb need Points, guess what happens............

I think what was meant was that both citroen and ford hand out team orders to their drivers. PSWRT will have none of this.

Petter? teamorders?? last time was in 2001 :D
But he is a businessman so I guess he could strike a deal..
13th January 2010, 17:25
GigiGalliNo1

what happens if Petter is quicker than Loeb? Will he be told to slow down in deal for money for future rounds and support? How will this play out?

Though there isn't much difference between the 09 spec of Loeb and Petter Citroen's (as said) but i don't believe this.....

Petter Solberg Q&A

"No, I will not rent out the C4 to anybody else. I'm not planning that at all. If somebody wants to join me this year they're going to have to rent the Xsara. I currently have two Xsaras, but I'm going to sell one. I will keep the other because it's such good fun to drive."

Petter will test the C4 in the Swedish local rally "Finnskogsvalsen" 23 January .

I Wonder. FX is now full time hired for PSWRT and not longer working directly for Citroen Racing. Does PSWRT have to use Citroen engineers in 2010? does this mean that PSWRT have full control over the car?

(ignore my name)

Solberg could be one place ahead of Loeb if Loeb crashes or something. He may not be quicker, but he may be ahead in a rally.
