Petter Solberg on the C4 wrc throgh the french roads

As rummours announced these past days, Petter Solberg thus tested C4 today. Under a torrid heat in the south of France, Norwegian finally could take the wheel of the car which he claims since the beginning of the year, as told in wrcisfree.
Solberg traversed many kilometers by connecting the runs intersected with short pauses.
It has seems it taken confidence at the wheel of C4, by improving its passages. Is C4 used that which Rautenbach controlled last year, which was its specifications? 2007? 2008? With prioiri, it would not be about one 2009.
As during tests 307, it is FX Demaison which supervised the meeting. This test was it intended to make a choice for the next year? Or has to validate a Citroen offer for the end of the year?
Meanwhile, Malcolm Wilson stated to Motorsport News that he would be prepared to offer a Ford Focus WRC for Solberg to use on Rally GB in October:
"Yes, sure we would be interested," Wilson said. "It would be a big ask for him to get into the car and win first time out. But I'm sure he could get a good result because, historically, ours is quite an easy car car to get into and drive quickly. But it would be a commercial arrangement and we could not control where he finishes."
