Rally Sardinia 2007
After a brilliant start Friday morning, problems with the rear-breakes made it hard for Petter and Phil to catch up. Rally Sardinia is well known for its tough stages, and on SS13 Sebastien Loeb went off the road and to retire from the rally.
Next event is Acropolis Rally 1. – 3. June 2007.

We are really in trouble if we are comfortable with a 5th place…. This season is being dangerously alike 2006; lot of car reliability problems plus lack of speed. In addition, tarmac Rallies are around the corner and historically Subaru doesn’t perform so good on those rallies. Seems SUBARU needs to take a deep breath and start recalling how to build fast and reliable WRC cars. On the contrary you will only will qualify after the leaders. Sounds hard, but is true…
Dear Petter:
At the end of the rally we only can see the results.
And while others cars finished behind you or went out off the road
you reached an honourable 5th place.
For me, it was great job! You are my hero!
“The real hero doesn’t who jump the wall.
The real hero is who demolish the wallâ€.
And you are in this way. Well done!
GO-PETTER-GO!!!!
