Petter Solberg World Rally Team is in Spain, getting ready for the C4 debut and Rally of Spain. 18 asphalt stages around the city of Salou, south of Barcelona, are waiting. This is the first event for Petter Solberg in a C4.

- I am so looking forward to get behind the wheels in this car. We have been testing for three days now, and this car is really great. For sure, I hope to be fighting this weekend, says Petter Solberg.

Rally Spain is the penultimate round of the 2009 championship, and it runs on asphalt. Stages are wide, smooth, flowing, and the fastest asphalt stages in the championship.

- Spain is a really though event, and the stages are fast. High speed on asphalt makes it important to find the right breaking point, other wise you will be off the road, says Petter Solberg. – There are no gravel to help you through the corner.

Rally of Spain starts Friday 2 October.
