No.

Rautenbach, Oiger, Novikov, Sordo and Loeb
Citroen has only capacity to run five C4-s for one event.

I think I wont be surprised. I have seen him in 7 Estonian rallies. He can be extremely fast, even the fastest but.. I will be surprised when he wont use the help of spectators or shovels to get off the snowbank and back on road ;-) If there is much snow then Norwegian winter roads are bit to narrow for him to use fully his most spectacular driving style.

Lots of snow and big snowbanks on the roads in Norway right now.It will be a real proper winter rally - and the roads will posssibly be too narrow for Novikovs liking...

As I recall, Tuohino was whingeing about that Xsara at the time so Tomi's post somewhat puzzled me.

That was also some years ago, so I suspect the top cars are a fair bit quicker than the Xsara now.

True they did but also every sucker that's a bit deeply into the rally business know it was true :) It's not a very well kept secret at all that they got screwed by Kronos and Citroen.

As announced, Solberg confirms it, it will take part in the rally of Norway at the wheel of Xsara of 2006. It is pH which will make roll the car, Norwegian will find Fx Demaison, French engineer with whom it could worked at Subaru. A press conference will be given to the day before it rally to introduce in detail the team and her partners.

So, Xsara Fan are you saying that only pH Sport will not be involved or that Francois-Xavier Demaison won't be chief engineer, as well?

Petter will run his own team based in France and François-Xavier Demaison will as I understand be chief engineer.
