Solberg gets his upgrades

    Norwegian Petter Solberg has finally got his hands on a set of mechanical upgrades he hopes will boost the competitiveness of his Xsara WRC.

    Since the last rally in Argentina, Petter’s privately owned Xsara - which is run in co-operation with Citroen Sport - has been completely stripped and rebuilt.

    The car’s bodyshell - originally made in 2001 - has been swapped for a newer version and the car has been reassembled to a 2006 specification, giving it a bigger intercooler, revised engine cooling ducts and the mechanical front and rear differentials Solberg has been trying to get hold of since February.

    Petter said he hopes the revised car will be better suited to the tough and hot conditions in Sardinia - an event he won with Subaru in 2004. Solberg first drove his overhauled car at a test in Sardinia on Monday.

    “I am very pleased with the cooperation with Citroen,” said Solberg. “And I think this upgrade gives us a more competitive car. We will do this rally now, and then see how it goes before we decide anything regarding the future. This season has been unbelievable, and together with my fantastic team I think we have only seen the start of it!”

    Lets hope he does well. He is one of the most passionate drivers in the WRC and really deserves a bit of good fortune and success.

    Citroen are afraid that he now could beat sordo and maybe thats why they were reluctant to give the upgrades and they gave them after he didnt put in an entry and threatned to use one of brothers Hennings 307's for the rest of the championship
