What will the Solberg Brothers do in 09 ?

Yeah, yeah Daniel, keep bashing and crying. No moderator has told me I'm wrong so you wanna keep running this discussion that in itself is off-topic it will at least not be with me. I'll keep posting my on topic links both to my own and others material and I engourage anyone else to do it too, including you. Have a nice day, man!

Now the idea I love. Absolutly brilliant in my opinion.

The thing is that im not convinced that they would have the financial backing to rival the works teams through testing and development. If thats the case would it be really worth creating a team carrying your own name if you wernt going to win?

Does anyone know what Petters financial situation is in terms of sponsorship?

Yourself perhaps...?

I've always considered forums to be a place for debate, arguement, gossip, news and information. And to that end, this forum does a great job. Daniel, after nearly 30,000 posts I'd have thought you would have been the first to recognize this. If hard news and fact is all you want, don't upset your precious sensitivities here, go to one of those reputable sites you talk about.

Can we go back to the topic now ? thank you !

Latest qualified rumour: Petter Solberg is to test two different cars during the next couple of weeks (Ford and Citroën, I guess) to decide what car he will run in Rally Norway. I think this confirms - together with Petters own denial that he has bought a car - that he is not a Citroën owner yet.

Petter has also been offered a Skoda Fabia drive, on the grounds that this will be just as good as a customer Xsara - and certainly cheaper regarding running costs.

I think that's probably the most credible sounding rumour on the forum at the moment.

looks like Petters off to Proton for 2010

If that be true then it seems Petter is looking to cash in his reputation as he doesn't feel he can get a proper car :crazy:

well he has said he wants to win, so the car must be good - just because it a low end brand nothing to say that the setup may be well suited to Rallying.
