Petter will do a comparison test btw the two french oldies after the next rally, to see if the whale is better, espesially on straight line speed, where he looses out with the Xsara !
Lets see what he decide on !

If there is clear difference in straight line speed it must be due to downgraded engine of the Xsara.. In simultaneous accelaration videos Xsara has always been as good as 307 and better than Focus -06.Quote:

Somebody says when and where Petter tests 307 this week ?
In what parts of the car has the development continued ? Is it mostly on the tarmac setup, or is it more ?
Somewhere in Poland, probably mondayQuote:

News ???? :confused:
he is on Test today in Mazamet in France, i think ........ ??
On Autohebdo website they write Solberg was happy with the test with whale vs Xsara ;)
I noticed on the entry list for NORF he's named the xsara, but can that be changed?
Yes, he can change car, but he cant change class(A8).Quote:

24.3 AMENDMENTS ON THE ENTRY FORMQuote:

and:
27.1 CHANGE OF CLASS ENTERED
At the time of scrutineering, if a car does not correspond as presented to the group and/or class in which it was entered, it may be transferred to the appropriate group and/or class recommended by the scrutineers upon the decision of the Stewards.
A few years ago Daniel Carlsson changed the class and the condition was that all the entrants had to agree that change.
The Whale still looks well, especially in silver. Hope Petter chooses it, something different and I presume more suitable than the Xsara for NORF (should be more powerful, no?)
more powerful, yes.... handling? Who knows...
For Finland neither one of these is a solution, he needs something that does not have "best before 2005" on it... :dozey:Quote:

- 2007: French Rally Championship with David Salanon (only tarmac rallyes).
- 2008: AFAIK French Rally Championship with David Salanon
It seems to me that if Petter will change Xsara to 307 we`ll hear some 'we have no power' or 'we have no speed' news from PS WRT...
The best years of 307 were 2006 and 2007. The car was still developped (and even produced) and was different to that used by factory team in 2005.Quote:

The quote from Petter regarding the speed of the Xsara is not only a complaint... It's a fact.. In a test b4 the Polish Rally, Andreas Mikkelsen recorded a topspeed 8-12 km/h faster then Petter's Xsara.. In a Skoda!!
Last year Atko with the same cars was faster than Petter. I think that Petter isn`t so good...Quote:

If we got Atko in that Xsara I'm sure he would have been leading the championship by now... easy...
It's a shame.... He should just call it quits, and give up... :dozey:
Do You have exact numbers?Quote:
