| Petter considering car change | 212 giorni fa | ||
After scoring his second podium finish of the year on Rally d’Italia, Petter Solberg is once again considering a car swap ahead of the next round in Greece. The rally in Sardinia was Petter’s first in his upgraded 2006-specification Xsara WRC, and although he said it performed better than the active differential car he has campaigned so far this season, the Norwegian is still after a car with true podium potential. Solberg completed the rally route in fourth place but was later promoted to third place when Sebastien Loeb was given a two-minute penalty for breaking safety belt regulations. “We were leaving the Service Park for the finish ceremony in Porto Cervo when we were told about the penalty,” said Petter. “It was good event for me and for the whole team. We have been fast many times, and third place makes up for the one we lost in Argentina. Too bad for Loeb, but there is nothing I can do about that. “We had a good fight with Sebastien. When I woke up on Sunday morning, I was ready and it was good to be fighting again. We had good first two stages, then we had a problem with the steering after service. I fixed it after the first stage and then we were on the limit on the last two. There was nothing more we could do.” One thing his could do is get a quicker car. And ahead of another hot rally in Greece next month, Solberg admitted he was still considering this option - with a Peugeot 307 the most likely replacement. Petter said: "I feel stuck in the corner. I have done a few rallies now and I know where I am. We are going to have this question, me and Phil, and see what we can do for the next rally. It will be the same temperature on the next rally, we have to really think - I don’t want to waste time. I’m having a lot of fun, but now we have to sit down and analyse. I know it’s not possible to push harder in the warm temperatures. I still have a little bit to go | |||
