It'll be an exciting day tomorrow.
Can we ban NOT from this thread ^^ ?
why ?
And the nominated junior team drivers has to have 2008 spec, that makes his drive a bit more impressive !
so its the car once again...
I don't get this debate over Petter.. Isn't it quite clear?Quote:

Petter is emotional and a straight talker, on both the good and bad. But it should be understandable that he has been frustrated with the Subaru, when his talent was much better than the car he was driving. I remember banging my head in the wall when he signed his last contract with Subaru. That was obviously the stupidest choice he has made.
Now the question is if other drivers have progressed more than himself over the last years while he was not able to fight in the top. This only future results can tell. He's one of the 4 best drivers, and the rest we will see. I just hope he get a competitive package for 2010.
But it's awesome to hear him on the radio, I'm starting to sense a bit of that true fighting spark in his voice again.. (if you can remember) been a long time.
Really? What would you have done in his place?Quote:
