Argentina report from 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.”

Sorry for being ignorant, but how do you know him so well? Petter round for a BBQ is a dream!
Also where did you get that shirt?
Is there a mistake in the entry list of Sardnia or Petter will not entry? I just saw and I can find Petter!!! 30/04/2009 – 12:20
hei Petter
Cant see you on the entry list of Sardinia.
Hope this is not a result of the stolen plans.
Chek it please…
Octavio and rocky – dont worry about Sardinia, as a private entry Petter has until May 11th to enter.
He has entered, but not stated what car as yet.
thank you steffan
I think this should say enough regarding Petter.
“As a joker, free from any team role, there will be Petter Solberg, who won in Sardinia in 2004, behind the wheel of a Citroen Xsara Wrc. His car may not be the latest spec, but it has often allowed him to make his mark in the events of the 2009 WRC.”

Translate to english,please,i don”t understand:(
Petter have a new car?!!
New Xsara for Petter!!!He threatened Citroen of leaving and they gave him a 2006 spec…!!!Also,he told that if this car is still slow he will change it!!!The game belongs to him!!Hehehe…
I doubt if Citroen are too bothered about Petters threats. I have read on wrc.com about petter looking at a 307. another waste of time. He should just retire
Chris – why don’t you go on some other board? You obviously have too much time on your hands to go on a driver’s website whom you dont even like and then slag him off. Its pathetic.
Anyway, good luck for Sardinia
Xsara”06-не лучший вариант,но и далеко не худший.
Never give up!:)
