British magazine Autosport has revealed that Petter Solberg visited Ford’s World Rally Team in England, one week after he tested a C4 Citroën in France.

M-Sport’s boss Malcolm Wilson, who runs two official Ford Focus in WRC, admitted he would like Solberg to drive one of his car in the last two rounds (Catalunya and Great Britain events), to help Mikko Hirvonen in the championship battle.

In the same time, Citroën wants to hire the Norvegian driver in order to help Sébastien Loeb.

Petter Solberg started his WRC career with Ford in 1999, before moving to Subaru in 2000.
