Default NEW Driver for Ford in 2005 WRC season

Henning Solberg (Petter's older brother) will join Ford in the season 2005... He just managed to get together the 1,1 million pounds that Malcolm Wilson demanded for a seat and will drive car nr 3..

Well he was nr 6 in "The Swedish Rally" not bad in a car that is 3 years old!!

If i remember correctly, the time you loose when not having active diffs is something like 0,5 sec pr KM..correct me if i'm wrong...
I think he will do pretty good in a brand new car..

At least He's had experience of rallying at the top end of the sport, although it's a shame that Ford are letting Duval go.

yeah, me too. i could only scrape 900,000 together out of my piggy bank.

i'm not expecting much from ford next year then. citroen to win again i fear, but if it can't be a ford, then i hope that it's petter.
