Petter stopped on stage 19
After fantastic driving for two days, Petter experienced his worse nightmare, when his car stopped on stage 19. With only three more stages to go on the final day of Rally Argentina, it should possible to secure his 2nd position. – We were going extremely well on the stage, suddenly the car just stopped! It was terrible; right now I’m just really disappointed and sad. The problem was electrical, Petter said on the phone shortly after the incident.















Ah Petter we are so disappointed for you and Phil, i couldnt believe it when no 3rd split came up for you. Dont really know what else to say, theres just no words to explain how gutted we all feel for you, after such a brilliant fight all weekend… its just cruel… xxxx
We all feel so sorry for you and Phil!!
If you read this Petter – just remember we are all behind you.
So far this year you have made no errors – just mechanical faults have kept you off the podium in Sweden, Mexico and now Argentina in the cruellest way.
Like with Eileen when no third split came up, it was gut wrenching.. tears came to my eyes for the first time since GB 2003 – how do you keep it in?
All the best for Jordan, Ian
You did us proud Petter both you and Phil gave it your all but life can be very cruel sometimes. Keep faith in your heart you will suceed.

After supporting the most terrible weather conditions and the immense pressure of knowing that the Sebastien´s car definitively continues being the best I´m here once again,beside our boys PETTER and PHIL with a great pain in the soul to have to abandon the Argentina´s Rally, so alone for an electric flaw in the subaru and near the end.
Another dream more than was not made reality.
It is not enough to put ALL that it is necessary to put to win a rally!
Because in this rally PETTER put EVERYTHING because he is definitely a pure blood in rally and all the people saw and think that!
The fight of PETTER to stay on the podium was very consistent but once again his subaru didn’t accompany him toward his so deserved success.
The tears of the defeat strangle me at this time because now is when appears this narrow passion that there are among the driver, his car and their fans. In the most difficult moments we are so connected among them.
The rally ended in the Argentina to my when the car numbers 5 stopped to work waiting better results in the development of the new subaru.
Many greetings to all of you that shared with me this inmense passion.
Elda for PSSC.
Petter,Phil dont give up!All the best for
!!!!
Jordan,I belief on you!
GOOOO Petter GOOOO
Lot of hours later, without that anger and sadness we all have felt today, I will give you my support message:
Petter&Phil…You should move on, and forget today’ sadness.
There must be something in your mind:
You’ve proven you are not only the fastest driver but the most consistent if the car works well.
Don’t push you too much, you are giving the 110%.
Now it’s swrt turn to give it with the new car.
I am sure prodrive has all his efforts into swrt now.
They must, or they will have all Solberg Army against them…haha LoL
KEEP SMILING!!!
Petter and Phil
Really sorry to hear what happened. But do not forget that WE ARE ALWAYS SUPPORTING EACH TIME!!.
!!!
Do not lower your arms and continuing fighting
Greetings… Gaby
Petter i think i’m the only one from INDIA…….. i’v seen you driving in NEW ZEALAND, don’t give up gods go’na reward you with something much greater soon. All the very best.
Regretably when you signed for Subaru for three years, you have mortgage your sports future. I mean, you preferred a succulent contract rather than a good car to win races like we were accustom from him till 2003. Unfortunately for those Petter fans is a shame to see you like a looser and bad luck seems a never ending story. The one million question is “Till When” ? Till Sebastian wins his 4th, 5th championship ? I am really dissapointed, I prefered Petter signing for Ford to enjoy a real battle with Loeb.
