Hmmm... Francis44 is not completely wrong. This year Petter Solberg is a 'PR-star' and not a 'rally star'. His last win was in 2005(!!!) but he and his fans always say that 'Petter is one of the best' or 'Petter is the best'. OMG! He can`t beat Chris Atkinson last year! Some years ago Solberg-jr said that he will not cut his hear until next win.....

To be perfectly honest, Petter can drive. Given the right equiptment when ion his prime he was deserving of his World title.
But, time has past since then as such has Petter's prime.
Just like Colin McRae was from ~98 onwards, hes competative but never really looked as though he had the edge on the rest of the competition. Petter is the same.
Regardless of what anyones personal opioion of Petters driving capabilities, he is a PR dream. He is obviously not willing to give up, has good photogenic qualities, and has good interpersonal skills with fans, media and sponsors.
While Petter maintains his competitive desire to compete, the fans will follow in their thousands.

He couldn't win in the Subaru because it was crap, he was gonna clean up in the Xsara, but it was crap too. Now he is gonna wipe the floor with everybody in his customer spec Focus/C4, but that will be a crap car too. The Solbergobsessed fanatics will then point out that if he had a full works spec car and Hirvonen/Loeb had S1600 Suzukis with blind navigators then Petter would once agin win rallies.
