Since Petter is free to choose, and Henning has not chosen yet, what are their options as of today for 09 ?
Will they only look at WRC, or could they look elsewhere ?

Why would they look elsewhere?

If so then this is good news. I wonder whether either of them would move to the s2000 in anticipation for the changes to occur in 2010?
Seats in WRC cars are all but filled unless you pay your way into a WRC drive.
Kind of in between a rock and a hard place. Well Petter that is. Surely Henning can continue without too many issues..
I still hope whale of Bozian for Henning ;)
Perhaps IRC? :) When Loeb leaves the WRC in 2010 or so then what does the WRC have? Only a name in my view.Quote:

Ok so the WRC has a better class of cars but that ends when the WRCars are banned? :) If the Monte coverage is good I suspect some rallies may get itchy feet and move to where their event gets good coverage and they are allow to run a route that suits them. The IRC also isn't lumbered with contracts with all the silly Middle East/Mediterranean rallies which pollute the championship.
IRC, WRC, like I said it's just a name.
Norwegian press is reporting that Petter is to call Citroen Sport and MSport today to check his possibilities.

Could there be a couple of C4s with little plans for 09 ??

But it's true that if Malcolm Wilson misses the opportunity it'll be the END of Ford expectations for title next year :s :s
This is the official statement. Unofficial he has probably been in contact for some time nowQuote:

He also said that we should not be surprised to see him behind the wheel of a Peugeot again. Guessing he then means a whale and not a 207 !?
