Petter Solberg says he will not drive his current Citroen Xsara WRC on the next round of the World Rally Championship, the Rally d'Italia Sardegna.

Solberg has been chasing performance upgrades on his 2005-specification car for sometime and the Norwegian says he can't go into the hot summer rallies with the car in its current state.

If he doesn't get the upgrades, the 2003 champion is ready to look at driving a Peugeot. Solberg said he has watched with interest as private teams have developed the Peugeot 307 WRC (photo), particularly in the French Championship, where Danny Snobeck won the title in a Peugeot last year.
