Crew of Petter Solberg World Rally Team, Portugal 2010.
WRC photo session
Been a busy day today. A lot of interviews after Shakedown, we had the official WRC FIA photo session and also an autograph session. Later tonight we have a Drivers Parade in the stadium before the super special.
Shakedown
- Shakedown went well, we tried out a few things and I’m very confident now with the C4. Will be an exciting weekend, stages are quite tricky and tire-wear will be an issue.
Petter ended with the second fastest time on todays Shakedown in Portugal. Fastest were Sebastien Ogier, while Loeb had the third fastest time. The stage were 5,03kms and Petter did 4 runs.

Rally Portugal
Lorraine and Gerry working on menus and shopping lists. We have a lot of guests joining us this weekend. Todays dinner is tacos!
Portugal recce
Meeting our team for lunch during recce in Portugal. Lorraine sends us a lot of delicious food, and that is maybe why we actually got guests for lunch!
På jobb for Hellvik Hus
På torsdag var det fest og moro hos Hellvik Hus i Flekkefjord, i anledning åpning av nytt anlegg. Sammen med XL-bygg var det invitert gjester fra fjern og nær, bl.a. ski-skytteren Ole Einar Bjørndalen. Jeg fikk gleden av å åpne hele anlegget, ikke ved å klippe over snoren, men ved å kjøre en lastebil rett igjennom!
Vodafone Rally de Portugal
Next week we head out to Portugal and the 6th event of the 2010 Championship. 18 gravel stages are waiting to be contested in the Algarve region, and service park is based just outside the Algarve Stadium. Petter Solberg World Rally Team will be in Faro from tomorrow, Saturday, and starts the preparations with a small test on Sunday.
- Our car is rebuilt from New Zealand and we are now ready to start in Portugal, says Petter Solberg. – Being 5th on the road from the start, gives us a good starting position and we plan to make the most of it. We didn’t finish in New Zealand the way we wanted, but during the rally we definitely showed that we are able to fight with the big teams.
Petter Solbergs Citroën C4 were air freighted back from New Zealand and arrived in France a week ago. The guys at our workshop have worked hard to rebuild the car for Portugal, and yesterday it was loaded onto our trailer bound for Portugal.
A total of 75 crews from 33 nations are on the entry list for Rally de Portugal. The rally gets underway with a super special on the Algarve Stadium on Thursday evening and also ends with the same super special on Sunday. Petter and Phil has some good results from Portugal, they ended 4th in 2009 and 2nd in 2007. Sebastien Loeb won in Portugal both in 2009 and 2007.
Rally de Portugal starts with a super special Thursday 27 of May in the evening.
