Wow. Lay off the hallucinogenic stuff please. So crappy sporting regs, boring cars and unimaginative routes/rallies is all sorted because Atkinson has a seat for a few rallies and Petter MIGHT have a seat too? :confused: I wonder what you would have thought of the WRC from 2000-2003 :crazy:Quote:

Petter should say something like this, look , once in a lifetime offer, I will drive your car for free, I might even bring some sponsors. All you have to do is to bring another M1 car to the rallys. I want same material and testing as the first two drivers, but I give them an head-start by not driving Ireland.
It's not just a matter of getting and 07 or 08 Focus, its the testing programme, working with the engineer and things like that need to be sorted.
Sure IF Petter would be in a Ford it would certainly help them, and even the fight a bit with Citroen. However, I think it is now widely accepted that Citroen as a team and the C4 in particular is the car /team to be in if you want to win. It would be good to compare Petter and Loeb when Petter has not had to contend with unco-operative cars, as he has had to do since 2004. I think Petter has a better chance of getting equal machinery in Ford. Citroen is very much built around Loeb.
Good news that Petter is free to chose his car for 2009 ;)
Edit: he can also switch to IRC in S2000 like PG Andersson and Gardemeister are about to do :p :
If Malcolm wilson really wanted to win events and championship's he would have Petter in the BP team and move Hirvonen to stobarts as he will never get any better than the 9/10th's driver he is now!!!
Hirvo is more consistent than Latvala... ;)
Results are better to be there then now that he does not have to drive that crap car anymore...Quote:
