At the servicepark
Petter had a good smile on his face when he was at the Viking Ship for service today. He said would do it different from Sweden, and start careful and speed up during the day. 45% of the total stages are run today, so friday is the toughest day. The pilot in the FIA Safety helicopter told us that on the two first stages of today, there were more people than for the entire Swedish Rally. But all the spectators were standing in the safe zones.

Studs is important for a winterrally. The drivers can choose studs that are 5,5mm long and up to 8mm. With a lot of snow laying on top of the ice, you will ned longer studs for them to get down to the ice. After a while there will also be a lot of loose gravel and snow making you need the longest studs. The yellow marks is a special code used to identify the length of the studs.
Petter, love to see your smile! You’ve finished up in 4th, that is great! Of course you want to be 1st but do what you can with that ’06! Your course of action seems perfect! We’re proud of you!!

Hallo Petter.
Håper du fortsetter å stige i plasseringene utover lørdag og søndag.. Ser ut som det var en lur ide å ta det litt rolig fra starten. Men vi vet at du kan presse klampen i bånd å kjøre fra konkurententene hvis alt klaffer.
Håper på en pall-plassering på både deg og Henning..
Keep up the good work.!!
Lykke til i dag!!

Under Rally Norway var jeg inne på service plass i Vikingskipet og jeg må få si det Petter og til di andre sjåførerne at dere er utrolig flinke til å takle alt det maset rundt dere på jobb. Journalister meg her og journalister meg der. Tror jeg hadde blitt sprø jeg. Lykke til i Mexico.
