What will the Solberg Brothers do in 09 ?

Will be nice to see him in another car than Impreza, I hope he does well.

Thats the spirit, if that happens i think a few swedes feel a bit fooled.

So it became true after all, the statement that came a while ago about the Xsara.

Hopefully he can get all the right bits and pieces for it from Citroen, if so this can get fun. If he has tested Focus and Xsara in parallel, then he know what he is doing - he took the best overall package !

I hope he can get it tested and sorted out before Norway.

This also mean that Petter will be continue to work towards 2010, and test a lot of S2000 cars, maybe also some rallies.

Have fun on the Le Mans testing Petter !!!

Now it's proved that Petter did test the Citroen this weekend. Swedish newspaper VF (Värmlands Folkblad) has a photo of it!

What does this numberplate tell us, is this one of the newest Xsaras, at least the chassis ?
Hopefully he gets all the good bits on it !

I got a few thoughts seeing this pic, reading the news on NRK Sport, etc. Petter says on NRK sport that he will be driving the car first time in 2 weeks? And now we know he has already driven it... And it sounds like he has purchased it too. Since he seems to be stretching a little with the truth on if he has driven the car or not - may he previously have been stretching the truth regarding if he had bought the car?

Can it be so that Petter HAD bought the car when it was rumoured a few weeks ago, but he just didn't want to admit?

It`s the same car which Conrad Rautenbach used in Ireland:

Oh good, at least it's not another bloody Focus!

The Xsara should be ok, no worse than a Subaru, and for Petter it is a good choice. If he is not on the top pace he can blame the car.

I`ve got an info that PH-Sport will NOT work with Petter Solberg`s car.

A whale would have been equal to that Xsara me guess(and as I told earlier Bozian would have been delighted to work with Solberg)... :(
