According to today’s Värmlands Folkblad, PG Andersson is looking to join Petter Solberg World Rally Team for the 2010 season. Discussions have been held during a long time between Petter and PG but has now intensified. Believed to be left is “just” the sealing a budget of around €200000 – 300000. If the plans become reality, however, PG will not drive a WRC car alongside Petter, but a Super2000 (most likely a Skoda or Peugeot) in the Production WRC – which would anyway form a good preparation for the upcoming WRC probably dominated by S2000 cars.
My opinion is that getting PG into a good team in the WRC and with a mentor such as Petter would be really great and that is of course big news. However, one should remember that the amount of money still missing is huge, and from what I know it forms around half of the budget of a Super2000 season. This means that the news is still just half a seat and there is a long way to go.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that PG and Petter get everything well together!

Hi
You had some great comments and posts in your blog a while back. Where did they all go ? Will you write more, since they were very good !
Sorry man, it’s been really busy times so I haven’t really had the time. I really want to keep this alive, but actually I don’t really know how (eg how to get the time) right now. I’ll try to get it running with regular posts again ASAP…
Please, stay patient!
Regards,
Rasmus
