		Petter Solberg har en kort ferie i hjembygda nå før VM-sirkuset starter opp for fullt igjen, og målsettingen for 2005 er klar - han vil vinne.
		Motoren er sterkere, og aerodynamisk er den tilpasset min kjørestil enda bedre enn den jeg skal bruke i Monte Carlo og i Sverige, sier Solberg.
		Før den nye bilen kan tas i bruk skal Petter Solberg kjøre to tøffe rallyrunder med den gamle bilen.

		Petter Solberg's nickname is 'Hollywood', and it's a perfect moniker for the dramatic, extravagant, and amiable Norwegian.
		It was a difficult start, as much of Solberg's enthusiasm to impress resulted in hefty accidents, but as 2001 evolved into 2002, so Solberg matured and, in the season-ending Rally GB, he took his first victory.
		He had emerged as a title contender and a star of the future and, in 2003, the drivers' title was his after a fine display of raw speed, grit under duress and commitment.

		Petter started his rally-driving career on the fields of his parents' farm near Oslo when he was eight years old.
		In 1995, Petter acquired a Volvo 240, also from big brother Henning, and became Norwegian Champion in rallycross and hillclimbing, a feat he was to repeat in 1996.
		By now Petter was getting noticed and in 1999 he signed to drive for the Ford World Rally Team, making his works debut in Sweden with an Escort WRC and Phil Mills as his new co-driver.

	PETTER SOLBERG
		Petter's motorsport career was initially outside rallying, as he competed in Ford Escorts and Volvo 240 Turbos, with some success, in both rallycross and hillclimbing.
		His parents were keen rallycross drivers and both Petter and his brother Henning inherited their passion for the sport.
		Petter picked up the title for Norwegian Rallycross champion in both 1995 and 1996 and, after making his rally debut in 1996, was Group A Norwegian Rally Champion less than two years later.

	Interview With Petter Solberg, Subaru US Rally Team Driver - Sport Compact Car Magazine
		Because Solberg's co-driver Phil Mills is human ballast, they place him low and back in a surprisingly comfortable, but nonetheless very disorienting reclined position.
		The driver's feet are in an elevated footbox with oversized, bottom-hinged pedals; the shifter consists of two thin carbon-fiber paddles behind the wheel, while the big carbon-fiber handle in the shifter's old home locks the rear brakes and simultaneously disengages the back half of the all-wheel-drive system.
		Solberg, on the other hand, bangs off upshifts and downshifts mid turn without the slightest effect on the car's attitude.

		The announcement of a further three-year contract between Petter and Subaru secures the continuation of one of the most exciting partnerships in the WRC and demonstrates the long-term commitment that both parties have to win at the highest level of rally competition.
		Petter: This year we want to win the Drivers' Championship, but we know there is still more to come from the car and things are getting better and better.

	CNN.com - Solberg takes fast track to title - Nov. 12, 2003
		New world rally champion Petter Solberg has told CNN how he defied team advice to slow down on his way to claiming the title with a win in last weekend's Rally of Great Britain.
		Solberg, who claimed his first-ever rally victory in Wales last season, finished 43.6 seconds ahead of his main rival Loeb, who was reportedly ordered to slow down to help his Citroen team claim the manufacturers' title.
		Solberg also paid tribute to retiring Subaru star Tommy Makinen, who finished third in Wales to end a career that included four world titles on the podium alongside his teammate.

	Subaru driver Petter Solberg aims to win at the Wales Rally
		Subaru's driver Petter Solberg has promised he is going for a full-on attack and aims to end a disappointing year for his team with a fifth successive Wales Rally Great Britain win.
		Petter Solberg has not won a race since last September in Wales but his victory was marred by the death of Peugeot's co-driver Michael Park.
		Petter Solberg's triumph that September was given to him by Citroen's Sebastien Loeb, who took deliberate time penalties to make sure he didn't take his second title in such tragic circumstances and with three rounds remaining.

	Petter Solberg Races to Make the Fans Happy in New Jersey
		Petter Solberg, driver for Subaru's World Rally Championship Team, met over 300 dedicated fans in New Jersey last Thursday -- and I say dedicated, because they stood in line for hours waiting for him to autograph posters, assorted Subaru swag and a dizzying array of Impreza car parts.
		Solberg said WRC organizers are hoping to stage a championship round here in the next few years, a move that would raise awareness, and he also had some advice for U.S. rally fans, race teams and organizers.
		Solberg pointed out that in the Athens round of the WRC, one of the stages is run in the Olympic stadium, giving fans a means to watch an event from start to finish.

		However, Petter Solberg's second half of the season was exceptional and the championship battle turned out to be extremely interesting.
		While Solberg could concentrate 100% on his goal, Sebastien Loeb had the double task of trying to catch Solberg while being careful to bring enough points for his team to win the Constructors' Championship, which was Citroën's main goal.

		Eighteen months on from the switch to Subaru, Solberg is world championship material according to Lapworth, who during his years at Subaru has helped take Britons Colin McRae and Richard Burns to their titles.
		Despite Solberg's late start, his Welsh co-driver Phil Mills knew the minute he first navigated for the Norwegian three years ago he was riding with a future great.

	Rally Paradise, Petter Solberg´s Profile
		In 1995 Solberg switched to a Volvo 240 in the Supernational class and quickly earmarked himself as a talent for the future.
		Solberg was able to pass Loeb on the penultimate SS and won the event.
		On loose surfaces in particular, Solberg and his Pirelli-shod Impreza was imperious, but a poor start to the season and a huge accident in Germany left him with too much catching up to do.
