He's a driver that lives from the image, he needs air time, and on IRC you can barely see drivers face's. Only the top 3 give some interviews. I had to go on youtube to see who was Guy wilks!!!!

In WRC also only top 3-4 drivers give interviews for television.

In IRC ive seen Inboard LIVE from whole stages, isnt a big possiblity to Petter to be seen in Pictures?

Well a big name like Petter Solberg would bring new life to IRC and if he got decent result he'd have as much air time as he wanted.

Toni Gardemeister told MTV3 that he is interested both, IRC and S2000 cup next year if he is able to build a proper package. So in that light, I can imagine Petter has at least thought about them too.

If both will join IRC than that Chanpionship will be as exciting as WRC :D

IRC and airtime? you are joking. It's Eurosport only

Maybe Petter should give Gigi Galli a call ?

That would be an interesting combo !

Regarding Airtime in IRC; Yes it is only eurosport, but they will send 9 hrs from Barum - Not bad ?

I would like to see Petter in IRC but I don't think it's a good choice for him. If he wins everybody would say "well we expected him to" and if he doesn't then he might "devalue the brand"

If he wants to go S2000, maybe he should try the FIAs new S2000 Cup. Judging by jWRC and pWRC there will be no publicity, but it would be cheaper than struggling in an old Xsara or paying Malcolm for the privelege.

Today Petter C4 test on Gravel :
