Petter Solberg WRT

I am not saying that i don;t want to see peter in a faster car...all i am saying is that Peter should focus on driving than feeding his home media with stupid rumours like Citroen will not give him a car because they are affraid.....Trust me if Solberg after the folding of subaru went to citroen and paid them a proper amount he would get that Junior C4 in no time like Novikov, Ogier and atkinson.

Money talks and if peter wants to prove something he should pay some of the millions he has earned all these years if he wants a competitive car or just stop whinning and compromise with cheap uncompetitve cars like the xsara or the 307.....But i guess its cheaper and more productive to whine all the time...keeps fans asleep, the media busy, his name in the local papaers and his bank acount safe.

Petter robbed again according to mtv3....Anyone could tell us more,bacause I don;t understand completely what happenned...

They stole supporter clothes worth 4000 pounds at Baja 300 in Germany from a guarded shed.

e-bay time for the robbers.....

and also his helmet, driving suit and underwear.... Wonder who will try to use that gear at a rally.. ;)

probably sold as memorabilia.....

Ok this is why the whole “Homologation” crap should be thrown out the window! It creates a monopoly and basically whoever is in charge can decide who wins. If the WRC went to a simple set of rules that applied to all cars you would see an explosion in the WRC; more drivers, different cars, ect… For instance someone could build a competitive car out of a Volvo C30 for a fraction of the cost if they didn’t have to pay for the overpriced specialty parts on a stupid homologation. I have a car in my garage that could blow the doors off a Group N car and I’ve only got about 25k (USD) in it.

This would allow Petter to tell Citroen to take a hike and he could do whatever he needed to make his car competitive, make the WRC more interesting, and get allot more new faces in the world spotlight. But this will never happen because you have companies like MSport and Citroen filling to many FIA officials wallets.

For those of you who don’t think Petter is fast enough to take down Loeb, I would suggest you look at the data of Petter attacking corners harder, pulling through them at the same speed or faster than Loeb but somehow Loeb’s car after exiting the corner can quickly gain more speed (sometimes more than 20kph faster) before the next breaking point. Now If you can explain Petter having a competitive car but not having the talent to compete I’d love to hear it? I stick with my theory that Loeb has a secret stash of Pixy Dust that makes his car go faster! :rolleyes:

thanks you for your input.....runway 3 is clear for landing please proceed landing your spaceship back to earth and have a more realistic view on things...

i don;t know which is funnier ?? the fact that you have a car that is far better than a group N or that you are certain Solberg would beat Loeb out of TV footage....for your info the footage shows max 5-6 corners of the rally....now i do believe a rally is far longer than those corners....

saabaru: lots of good points there. easier to build "own" cars with "own" specs, that will make that citroen and ford can't controll everything as they actually do these days in wrc.
is something realy wrong in wrc these days, if you dont se that, your're an idiot.

N.O.T: when petter is faster than loeb untill he have a puncture today, isn't that something with equal driving-skills? with a 4 yrs older car, with 30 hp less(atleast) loeb should be 30-40 secs in front of petter. you don't like petter, thats ok for me, but you are an idiot saying stuff like this.

His crash says that he was above his own limits....thats why he was faster for 3 stages and then he crashed...that does say absolutely nothing.


Last year he was slower than Atkinson in many rallies in a higher spec car and with royal treatment by subaru....

I actually liked peter a lot and he was the last man to defeat Loeb fair and square in a fair battle for the championship in 2003, but when things started to go wrong he blaimed anything but himself.....if he wanted a high spec car he should go the latvala way and pay for a drive in a factory team....

Its far easier to look good in a bad car than look good in a proper car.....
