I understood he drives with S2000 only if the deal with Petter's team does not happen as that would be WRC.Quote:

2011 wrc cars will be 1.6T!!!!Quote:

I know its a British publication, and a little biased towards Ford rather than Citroen, but Motorsport News says that after meetings with Ford Europe and M-Sport Petter has been offered a car for 2010 that is complete parity with what Mikko and Jari-Matti cars are with 12 days testing for the season, and its is for him to have a crack at the drivers championship, drawback? Petter has to bring a seven figure sum to fund it. Petter has had meetings with sponsors in Oslo and Stockholm and "the ball is in his court" basically Petter needs to find sponsors. The article gives a big hint that Ford Europe and Malcolm want him in a Focus, it has to be a commercial deal, but unlike anyone of the other 'hire car' drivers Petter will get a proper Ford - somehow I cant see Citroen matching that specification car.
Not unless Citroen dump Conrad and offer something similar...I doubt he's bringing in more than 7 figures.
So what. Conrads car is junior spec and that has been available for a long time. But the price has been too high and the junior spec isn't good enough for a championship attack.Quote:

I have a feeling we will see him in a Ford. He mentioned the fact that the Citroen is older spec so provided he can make the cash he will run a Focus I have a feeling.
