By the way, Wilson himself said that Hirvonen will be the unchallenged number one at Ford.

I reckon Petter has a better chance of beating Loeb in a Ford than if he was running a Citroen. Time will tell, all this speculation is getting tedious.

Within limits or are you just being stubborn? What if Loeb was in a S2000 and Petter in a WRC?
Just making sure you're not completely biased against Petter...

As it is know, Citröen has the best car. Loeb and Sordo drives them.. No money in the world will give you the exact same spec as these cars.. Sordo can't win(exept if Loebs retires) If a customer in a C4 is beating Loeb I don't think that Quesnel will give him the best support after that..
If somebody manages to get a top spec car and fight for the win in it, I take my hat of.. So far Petter has been the closest to get that deal.. Even with a fraction of the budget Citröen has.. Time will show..

I don't understand why a "private" car(if it's the latest model) Can't win, without making the manufacturer look bad? It's still a Citröen or Ford that's winning..
Maybe we will see more battles in 2011.. I certainly hope so, cause as it is now its just a 2 man battle with 5-6 good drivers trying to keep up, and some gentleman drivers filling up the rest of the top 10..

And finally.. I love that Petter is not giving up, and trying to beat the "system", and trying to beat Loeb before he retires..

In the hands of 1 driver! When was the last time anyone other than Loeb won a rally in a citroen? Sordo maybe? :)


It is obvious that citroen has the best driver, this doesn't mean that they have the the best car, not by a long shot.

Hasn't the development frozen on the WRCs now or did I dream that?

So surely next year a private C4 or Focus will be as near to a full works car than ever before.

You're right, but sometimes there are exceptions ... like some french with the same Loeb name who in Australia 2009 (and probably not only there) happens to drive a C4 with not-homologated 2009 parts =)

Ps. My hat is off for Petter, obviously. Keep it up man, you're still a rally world champion (many people seems to have forget that), the last one who beated Mr.Unbeatable for the driver title.

And, I don't think TV is the most important measurement of the sports popularity, especially when we're talking about rallying.

You have to remember that vop is from the states where success is measured by how much exposure you get on the great god of television. :)

They might be reporting old news but Autosport magazine this week still thinks Petter is going to the Junior Citroen team alongside Kimi and Ogier.
