PHIL MILLS - The GENTLEMAN with a moving office
Phil Mills was World Champion in 2003 and has been in the WRC together with Petter since 1999.
To most people, Phil is known as a really COMMITTED co-driver and would, like Petter, never leave anything to chance.
Phil has a good sence of humour, the charm of a true British gentleman and a great knowledge about life in general. All this together makes him an INDISPENSABLE part of the SOLBERG/MILLS team.
To be able to perform on his level today is a result of many factors. However it is his THOUROUGHNESS in his PREPARATION that makes his work stand out from the crowd.
On each rally his written pace notes have a word count equivalent to a novel which he then, over a period of three days, has to READ aloud to the driver with precise RYTHM and TIMING.
In the car, Phil is the one who knows WHERE to go and WHEN to be there.
If Petter loves and lives for the ADVENTURE,
Phil is the one PLANNING, WRITING and READING it!
