After he could not secure a WRC seat for this season, Petter Solberg will create his own team again to run a Citroen DS3 in rallycross.

The 2003 rally world champion, who could not retain his seat with Ford after last season after 14 seasons in the championship (including 13 wins), will run the X-Games this season, and also the Global Rally Cross or the Rallycross European Championship. Solberg began his career in rallycross, being norwegian champion back in 1995 and 1996.

Furthermore, Petter Solberg said he could enter the famous Pikes Peaks race, and even the Le Mans 24 Hours, but he did not give further details on this.
