Argentina rapport fra Elda
“The whole family is already in the city house with the bitter flavor of the abandonment of Petter´s and Phil car after moments of a lot of stress and under an intense task on behalf of the whole team during on Friday and Saturday for the dusty roads of Córdoba´s mountains.
In the Sunday morning when the team was practically caressing the podium, the car stopped and Petter had to retire in a SS20 just 5 kilometers to the arrival the final of the stage.
During this weekend we had the great opportunity to see the hard work of the most consistent rally team that I never seen in WRC and how all the boys and girls have worked for this rally was successful.
Regrettably the bad luck played the carp again when the team also had to suffer the robbery of the briefcase of Mr. Ken Rees with the whole documentation in the service park ….. these things would never have to happen because of the security that the organization had placed around the whole park, but there are the mistakes that they will have to change in the future. Today I also listened by the press that our rally driver Coyote Villagra of Ford Munchis team was stolen too, with so good luck that a little boy found his coat and his wallet with his documents in the proximities of the service park.
After all that happened in last weekend I don’t have words to say thanks in my name and in the name of my family to Petter and his team for the pleasing moments shared during Argentina´s rally 2009.
I will keep all these moments in my heart like one of my biggest treasures and like one of very emotive moments in my life.
Thanks Petter Solberg World Rally Team: I´m so proud of you all. Good luck for the next event.”
