Rally Monte Carlo finished

I think the superspecial put a great end for this rally. It was quite fun to drive the last stage just outside my frontdoor, with Pernilla and Oliver watching from the terrace. And being able to relax at home on Sunday morning and just walk down to the car was actually quite nice.

Phil and the team, and FIA, weren’t too happy about my donuts, but I just had to do that! I just felt that all the spectators deserved to see some good and fun action. And being in that mood, I also gave away my drivers gloves to Prince Albert at the ceremonial finish.

I’m going to spend a few days at home in Monte Carlo now, before I leave for testing in Italy. And then – testing on snow before Swedish Rally and Rally Norway.

    What’s the deal with FIA and donuts? It’s the most spectacular,and easiest, way to please the spectators. And in the end that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?

    We are hoping to see you win here in Argentina, your job at Monte Carlo was pretty good and the donuts in the streets of Monaco just showed you aren´t one more of the pack.
    Congratulations and the best luck for the reminder of the season.

    Det er vel ikke vits å streve lenger. Loeb er av annen klasse. 100% hos petter tilsvarer jo ca. 50% hos Loeb. Helt umulig hvis ikke subarun blir uvirkelig mye bedre enn alle de andre bilene (igjen?) Ikke rart det har vært mye suttring. Umulig å oppfylle hans urealistiske krav.

    Hei! Takk for et uforglemmelig rally monte carlo! Jeg var pÃ¥ tur med seks andre, og vi fikk med oss tre etapper og to servicer. Og selvfølgelig etappen i Monaco. Kul piruett! Vi fikk den bare med oss pÃ¥ storskjermen der vi stod, men den fikk virkelig liv i publikum! Tøft! ;) MÃ¥ ogsÃ¥ si at vi skapte en del undring i Loeb-land pÃ¥ etappene ved Ã¥ heie pÃ¥ deg og vifte med norske flagg! Utrolig hvor mye liv det blir av Ã¥ rope “SOLBERG – YEEEAH” og “LOEB – NOOOO” ;)

    Hallå. 4 plass i Rally Norway er drit bra og di som sier noe annet er misunnelige. Henning gjorde det bra kun for at Petter har den gamle bilen. Vent til mexico da en du en ener igjen, helt klart. I sommer skal vi til Monte Carlo, er du og treffe i badeshorts da Petter
