I can now confirm that we will start Rally Norway in an Citroen Xsara 2006 model.
A lot has to organized before we come to Hamar. Information regarding the team, who will run the car and sponsors will be announced at a press conferance before Rally Norway.

Congratulations,Petter!Clever choise
Congratulations! I’m glad you’re back this event. Good luck and have fun!
Edwin
Great to see you again in a rally car !!!
What a fun challenge with this Xsara !
that’s gonna be some getting used to…. Petter in a Citroën
Jeg håper virkelig at dette går bra Petter, forhåpleligvis så er bilen god nok.
Du er i allfall god nok til og vinne rally norway.
Dette skal bli spennende.
I think it is a shame that one of the two world champion drivers can only drive a 2006 WRC car. But in spite of this, I whis the best from Hungary! Go boys!!!!
Good to see you smiling again,Petter!!
I don’t think I can wait until that press conference.;)
Are you running with that Xsara for whole season??
Lots of luck!!
i am pessimistic of the opportunity you have to fight on front compred to c4s and focuses.
It would be better to approch Malcolm or Quesnel.
Pray to not have a season like Manfred’s 2007. Better stay home instead.
GRATULERER!!!
Ønsker deg lykke til i Xsara!
Er det noen fysiske mål som gir C4 noen fordeler, eller kan Xsara’en teoretisk bli like god? De som utvikler bilene konsentrerer seg vel også om andre egenskaper enn de som gir fordeler i rally, eller? Håper du får et godt forhold til bilen. Da vet vi du kan bli best! Lykke til!
great news petter
really i am very happy to that
good luck petter
gratulerer, håper det blir gull med denne bilen petter!!
Høres bra ut Petter! Har venta mange år nå på att du skulle se lyset og komme deg ut av denne Subaruen.. Så Gratulere med det!! tross vanskelige omstendigheter.. Men nå er jeg sinnsykt spent på å se deg kjøre en annen bil.. Gleder meg som en unge.. Tror vi får se deg tilbake i storform rimelig snart! Vi veit hva du er god for. tilbake “på kanten”.. Knive på sekundene. Petter the underdog.. Returns!
Xsara 2006 Rocker!
Could it be a T412 chasis? ex-Rautenbach?
..det er klart, du kler godt blått, men jeg bryr meg ikke om hvilken bil du kjører, sålenge det er en vinnerbil, og ikke en Subaru
. Jeg vil se gamle Petter kjøre.. sånn som bare du kan.. Glemmer aldri Wales 2003.. siste etappe.. Eller Ouninpohja 2004. Herregud mann.. Du er bare sinnsykt rå når du er på hugget!
Congrats Peter, can’t wait to see you in action again.
Anyway We are very happy to hear your choice.(I hope Subaru comes back on WRC)
Zenkai Go!
Good to have you back in a car but I am sad that the car is sooooo old. Unfortunately, I do not expect to see you in the top eight in Norway. However,I would dearly love to have to eat my words! For a World Champion and a man of your ability it would be great to see you in a 08 car or 07 even where you could challenge Seb. I hope you get an upgrade soon.
Best wishes
T
hi petter, happy to have u back to WRC war. Will still continue to support you on whichever car that you choose to drive.However, i would certainly to pray for subaru to be backed to WRC battles and get you in the scooby. Only then, WRC will becoming more intractive..
Anyway wishes you a best of luck….
Hi Petter I dont know what to say about the xsara but i might think it not comp against 2009 cars, but i hope u prove me wrong. Anyway i wish u the best of luck and im happy to hear that u r back in business with rally again. I hope u will show everyone what driver u are in Rally Norway even that is u first rally in that new car.
Stram wire Petter……
Hi, Petter! It’s nice to see You back in WRC. Citroen it sounds competitive, but will it be Xsara I don’t know. Anyway I wish You all the luck, to score some good points in home rally and to feel support from Your fans and sponsors.
I’m definately going to have to change my name now! But not to Citroennut!!
Seriously whatever you drive Petter enjoy it get that confidence back get that smile back and have fun!!!
Let us know the colour scheme of the new car or I’m going to be cheering on Loeb!
Kate
Gratulerer med en kjempebil! Du veit hva du har sloss mot, så du veit potensialet. Den er ihvertfall bedre enn forrige generasjon Subaru, på mange områder. Lykke til, og kjør som vi veit du kan.
I’m sure the flare and passion will still be the same despite the change of car! Hope it all goes well!
Simon
Det är helt klart att han inte är så het på marknaden….Atkinson fick ju kontrakt redan dagen efter de va slut med Subaru….Petter får köra en gamal citroen……tråkigt men sant
Gasen i botten petter!!!!
De e ju en inkörd bil som e van vid att åka fort!!!!!
[...] Petter Solberg ha confirmado el rumor y participar con un Citroen Xsara WRC en el Rallye de Noruega. El piloto dar ms informacin sobre los patrocinadores y el equipo en una rueda de prensa antes de la prueba de su pas. [...]
why a citroen xsara? i know its a good car and u will be like atkinson but why dont you join adapta? thats the decision i would have thought would of been the best, because its subaru and there cars are run by prodrive and they are norwegian team!
Szia.
Magyarországrol írok, mint itteni nagy szurkolód.
örülök hogy sikerült kocsit szerezni.érdekes verseny lessz Loeb C4WRC-Sordo C4WRC- Chris Atkinson C4WRC-és te egy Citroen Xsara WRC-vel indulsz.most legalább kiderül mennyivel jobb a Citroen.Remélem sikerül versenybe lenned!
good luck!
Greetings from Estonia,
its very nice to see that you are back in action in Rally Norway. I hope that you can get podium finish because Xsara isn`t so bad car. I belive that you can still drive fast and win rallys
.
Good luck.
Petter.
Why did you lie a few weeks ago about the xsara. Its ironic now that that is what you are about to drive. It will prob be as good as the subaru anyway. I think you wasted time too. Atko beat you to a good drive and fair play to him. Your day has come and gone my friend.
I cant believe that you are going to be driving a Xsara, possibly my favorite car of all rallies! Are you going to ber with Citroen the whole year…are you going to be competing for Manufacturers PTS? how does this work…..Also how does any other team seriously think they can win that title…considering everyone has come to Citroen in the last 2 months
Best of Luck Petter!!!
Many congratulations petter, sorry i cant make it to see you in Hamar this year. I usually come out to see you with John Mills but with Subaru out that probably wont be possible. Good luck and heres to many more podiums for you and phil. best wishes to Pernilla and Oliver too.
Thanks for all the great times over the last few years. quality!
Chris (CJ)
Gratulerer! Blir bra dette! Er disse to alt av bilder som er tatt fra hele testen?
spain love you petter, we gone to see you in germany’s rallye and you are a fantastic person and yor brother too, we hope that we see you at portugal rally, very very good luck petter, kisses from spain
I wish you the best with the xsara.
Well done gentleman. What would i give to see you and Phil on the top step looking down on Seb who only managed to finish third…..!!!!!
Come on dig deep and go kick his French Candy Ass…….!!! Ohh by the way you look quite fetching in Red and White…??
I would have preferred a C4, but I’m sure you got the best possible car that was available. Good luck with the new car and enjoy the season!
have fun with the xsara. why not drive a couple of rounds in the irc also this season. skoda is looks good this year and it would help you prepair well for 2010.
well done petter!
i know it has been a hard time but you needed to get out of that subaru so that you can become world champion again!
you still have it in you, you just need the right car so here we go again! everyone will support you no matter what you drive.
now lets stick it to the big guns like the good old days!
Morro med litt forandring, vel….Petter
Når bilen er såpass gammel kan du kanskje kjøre med den gamle typen diff da?!
I så fall ; en kanonfordel
Ford, Citroen, who cares as long as you are there Petter, we’ll all be happy…
All the best for the year, I’m sure we’ll be seeing you at the front very soon
go for it petter!,i know the cars not going to be at the same level as loeb.but if anyone can cause a stir,its you!!!.show them all whos number one petter!!.
its going to be strange not seeing you driving a subaru, but either way your can do it. there is another championship with your name on it. show them what you can do.
Godt at du har fått deg bil du kan kjøre løp med. Du får kjøre 90% på fredag, 100 % lørdag og så kjører du 110% på søndag og kjører i fra hele wrc eliten. Lykke til, har troen på at du finner igjen god formen ganske snart.
Great that you still are at WRC!
Best wishes!
A.
