Solberg explains his absence

Petter Solberg, world champion in 2003, will not participate in the rally from Sardinia. Returning to competition thanks to his own structure, the Norwegian raced in a Citroën Xsara giving him good performance. But, to continue racing, Solberg wants a more competitive car. “ I would need a larger radiator, for efficient cooling. In Portugal, I noticed that when the engine temperature increased, I had a loss of power. I want to fight for the podium against the Fords but if the car stays like this, it's not possible. »
