[Tomi]

Hehe, did you know Petter was a world champion, or didn't it count that year?

it counts every year offcourse.

If Petter is going to take C4 WRC then Citroen will be very badly overbooked and I can expect many technical troubles for the ones who pay less:-(

[MJW]

And Ford are not overbooked? - remember officially Atkinson is only guaranteed a C4 for Rally Ireland.

Petter said that the problem/challange is to get a good car.

I'm sure he will be happy as long as the car has a lot of switches and buttons to change set-ups continuously during the stage...
