Petter Solberg is better option:
-People love him
-He is real world champion (Sordo is only JWRC winner)
-He was faster in 2010 than Sordo
-Sordo has 0 wins with WRC
-He knows people in Prodrive
-He speaks English better

First of all Mini needs a good test-driver. When Petter last time took part in tests of the new car? In 2008? Impreza S14? OMG
But Sordo is one of the C4 WRC test-drivers.

I'd rather see Petter in a top car fighting for victories.

Sordo and Mini sounds good to me :)

Dont think Prodrive would like Petter back, and dont think Petter would like to go back either, at least not to a winning car !

I meant in my words, that there is nobody, who can help Mini to beat Citroen... (I think Sebastien too)...

Are those British spectators still around who pulled logs onto the road to help McRae win GB. Would they do the same for Sordo ?

Have those Kenyans who put a pile of rocks in front of McRae emigrated to another WRC round hosting country ?

Might Loeb find a cow on the road as Makinen did at Corsica ? (or does Citroen train the cows on the rally route to stay out of the way)

Being Frenchmen , they probably train them for dinner for the dinner party after every Loeb's win ( that's after every WRC rally ) ;)

Finally we have 2011 Appendix J: http://www.fia.com/en-GB/sport/regul...tingCodeA.aspx

It looks like restrictor is same for WRC and S2000 1.6T. WRC only have option of different flywheel.

how much different does it makes? (except when the flywheel is TOO light and the drivers gets excluded :) )
