Agree, the whole question Pastrana to replace Solberg is absurde, a crap driver like Pastrana would be a burden for any team if they would, I think here you can see also on how low level the media is.Quote:

Petter Solberg is two step behind the faster ones on WRC, but still is a good driver, better than many drivers on WRC and much better than Travis.
How long are we going to see this stupid thread each time we visit the forum.....
great motorcycle acrobat(or whatever is called) he might be but a great rally driver he isn't(or in the better case he still isn't)
So until he shows some speed at PWRC, he's on my "not good enough for WRC" list of drivers, I wouldn't care if he buys a ride on a private team but I'd really hate the publicity stunt(just that) it would be if he replaces Solberg or any driver at a works team
Like we need you americans? DUH?!Quote:

IMO we do need Americans in rallying. The difference is do Americans need WRC at all? Pastrana can't replace Petter but he would be ideal third driver OR one of the drivers in Subarus possible M2 team. Many Americans didn't even know what Paris-Dakar was before Robby Gordon took part in Dakar-raid. If Pastrana should compete in highest level of rallying it would not only increase the market value of WRC but in best case, open a way to get North-American WRC rally. I bet his fanbase is a teeny weeny bigger than Rautenbach's for instance.
Why, for what? Never really understood this need of someone in something when they never have really been there.Quote:
