Petter want to have control concerning everything in his team?
He must buy rapidly another car. mokin: And certainly no French brand.

Petter will most likely use the Xsara also next round, but he wants more help from Citroen, he says he have to be closer to the podium in Cyprus if he should remain as an “Citroen driver”.

I can see the Xsara already disappearing to Rallycross after 2 rallys.

Same feeling here....
Could he even with C4 be closer to the podium, the 'young' generation is knocking on the door.... PG for 1

I guess he want the car serviced and zeroized by Citroen Sport, and maybe have some OJT from his Engineers and Techs, to have a car that is as good as it can get.

He know that this will never be a C4, but he want it to last for a whole rally, and be in ship shape before the next rally !

Most of us would have wanted the same !!!

If Petter cant get a C4 from Citreon, whats stopping him getting a C4 engine going on the info I read on here that the C4 and the Xsara have different engines. One would assume the engines arnt actually that different and the basic geometry are the same.
Even if the difference is just in the tuning of the engine, wouldnt Citreon rather boast about their star driver (Loab) beating an opposition that isnt handy capped to begin with?

Citroen can give very good car to Petter but they will never give him latest and best electronics and that is the point where all stories end. Without latest software for differential and engine Petter will never go even close to podium finish. Also in my opinion if he didn`t manage to be fast on his territory(snow) he can`t be faster on gravel or tarmac either!

There is a thing called "Homologation" that prevents privateers making an Xsara with a C4 engine,with a Focus 05 suspension and Focus 06 diffs,fABIA 05 gearbox,........

In fact Petter have always said he is better on gravel and tarmac than snow
