Ready for Rally Portugal
This week we are heading to Portugal, for the fourth event this year. Rally Portugal is Petters third rally this season, and he is looking forward to the weekend.
- Rally Portugal is a tough rally and it will be exciting to see how fast we can go here. We were fast in Cyprus, and with even more time with the car I hope we can set some good splits.
Rally Portugal was back on the calendar in 2007, for the first time since 2000. Sebastien Loeb won in 2007 and Petter ended second. A total of 18 gravel stages will be completed during the weekend, and it all starts with a super special at the Algarve Stadium Thursday afternoon. 75 entrants are on the entry list, one of them is Marcus Grønholm who will drive a Subaru for Prodrive this event.
After the podium at Cyprus two weeks ago, Petter flew directly home to Monte Carlo, and ended up in bed for the next week. A really tough stomach-virus knocked him out of business.
- I had a lot of things scheduled for that week; interviews, tv-shows and an event together with my main sponsor Johs Lunde. I had to cancel them all and stay in bed. Feeling a lot better now, and I hope to stay well for some time!

Goooo Petter !!!
Chris, you havent posted here for a long time, probably because you cant think of anything positive to say to support Petter. Or maybe you’ve just been so busy eating your own negative words that you hadnt time to come on here since, or during, the weekend when the guys got their great result in cyprus! This is a website for fans of Petter and Phil, we are all friends on this website, and silly little comments from you are laughed off. my guess is you’re not Chris at all, you’re probably a skank from strabane whos name i wouldnt even waste time writing down! So get a life and let me support the guys in peace, tusen takk, Eileen!
maximum attack !!
Go!Go!Go!
Go Petter, Phil and PSWRT!!! May the force, luck & speed be with you this weekend;)
