WR1 Owners Club

I think cogratulations are in order for petter solbergs 3rd place in rally cypress especially as he is now a privateer in a 3 year old citroen, a true world champ!!

True. It does show how sh1te the Impreza was however if he never did better than 5th with the scoob but does 3rd with an old Sh1troen

Great news for PetterSolbergWRT

Hollywood's smile has returned no doubt

No wins in 4 years, so which Impreza do you want me to refer to ?

Swede, there is no need for this attitude. Ferret may well know little about WRC and may be looking to learn something. With an attitude like yours all you are doing is supressing the lines of communiation which are fundamental to a forum.

I know nothing about the WRC and if I had a question I would expect a respectful answer.

Ok so you mean post 2003, as I'm aware he won that year in the Impreza hence the WR1 was born but don't know nothing after that. Has he been in the same Impreza since 2003? Or did they change to the new shape at some point hence why his performance has gone down?

TBH its a great result.

IMO solberg is the one driver that could give loeb a go, the rest just aint in his league, hence the reason why he notched up win number 50!! at the weekend.

Solberg in a C4 or a Focus is what the WRC really needs

I would like to see Solberg drive for ford and show ford true potential,
I perfer F1 anyway,

I 4 one would love to see petter in the works c4 as i think hes the only driver that could get close to loeb !! pity loeb didnt drive for subaru in the last few years it might av evened up the competition and swrt might av won something!!

I think that's very right.

When you indeed see how he does with this 3 year old car and what results he achieved with a brand new Impreza every time, it does show how much the Impreza struggled in rallying and what Petter might do with a new C4 or Focus.

damn right....shows he has never stopped trying!!

What really gets me is that surely the other car makers can see that the WRC pretty much made Subaru (through the Lecagy and Imprezas) and the number of cars they sold to Joe public because of this..

Why can't Ford, Pug or Citroen produce any good fast road cars. Surely that's why they are in the sport in the first place...to market their cars.

If Subaru can still sell shed loads of Sti's when the car is a flop on the world stage...what would a 4 wheel drive, 300bhp C4 road car do for them??

Such a shame the new RS isn't 4wd!

There is one interesting thing though: Have you seen what Gronholm is doing with the old Impreza run by a non-factory team??

Could well spell the end for Latvala's run at Ford

Fook me !


So glad they survived

That woz one hell of a crash that must have shaken Latvala,s confidence !! agree with u swede can see him losing his place in the team!!
and another top drive by hollywood but Loeb is in differant league

now that's a crash !!

It will polish out...

What makes it even worse for him (apart from being his 24th birthday) is that he was leading the event and didn't need to push so hard. He even refused to take the split times as they were distracting for him!

That's the third time I can remember when he has stuffed it whilst in the lead.

He is just like a young Colin...its better to have too much speed and try to slow it down, than not have any speed at all.

1 day he will be the world champion alright. After Leob retires ofcourse.

Latvala has one problem: arrogance.

Kankkunen, Gronholm, Vatanen and co were mad, but they were/are also 'humble' guys. "Drrriving faast is not verry difficult. You just thing after crrest is straight line and you OK"
Latvala already thinks he is World Champion

I wouldn't mind if Gronholm came back to Ford. Would sure give Loeb a run for his money.
Unfortunately, Jouhki will probably do everything possible to keep Petter and Marcus out.
I see Duval actually doing a return
