Petter til rallycross i Peugeot!!
When quizzed, Henning Solberg confirmed his brother’s plans, “Yes, I think he is going to build a Peugeot. He says that he will do it,” said the older Solberg this morning. As far as we can discover at the moment, it seems as though Solberg’s plans centre around a 207 to be built in France and powered by an engine from Pipo Moteur who also supply the engine in Henning’s Fiesta (as well as for his WRC Focus).

If the move to build a Peugeot appears odd for a driver who seems to be strengthening his bond with Citroën, it may be worth considering the persistent stories linking Citroën with a move to the DTM. Under this scenario, Peugeot, which has successfully developed an S2000 rally version of the 207, would take over the PSA representation in the World Rally Championship…
So perhaps Solberg is cleverly positioning himself for the future.
