There is a competition running on WRC.com I thought you might like to be alearted about incase you don't visit the site.
"During the final service of this year's last rally, Wales Rally GB, the Subaru World Rally Team generously donated two very special prizes to be given away here on wrc.com.
The first item, a brand new SWRT jacket, has been signed by Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson. This jacket is standard issue to SWRT drivers and is modified by the team to carry an embroidered Pirelli patch on the front. Anorak fans take note - this model cannot be purchased anywhere.
Secondly, Petter Solberg signed and handed over the SWRT edition Sparco driving gloves he had used for the event.
Both of these items were already unique and extremely collectible, however each has become far more significant with the news that Wales Rally GB was Subaru's last WRC rally.
To be in with a chance of winning them both, simply answer the following question:
How many WRC rallies has Petter Solberg won?
Email your answer, along with your contact details including full postal address and daytime telephone number, to: competition@wrc.com.
The deadline for entries is 1200hrs on Wednesday 31 December.
Good luck!"
From WRC.com
P.S. The answer is 13 rallies!

ah,so you want us to answer the correct answer and give it to all the visitors aswell? Ofcourse you can find the answer everywhere so its not a surprise.
Anyway I still remember when Petter fought for his first wins. It always seemed to be against Markko and yeah mostly he beaten his old team and Markko as a rival. From those days I miss the old Petter. The always happy guy who driven in sideways,was crazy and deem lucky and the most beating his team mates. Now by my mind unfortunately that Petter has been missing some years already.

I'd already entered before posting that =P I figured the answer was easy to find, hence why I put it in my post, going to have the same result as not putting it there!

Hadn't thought of that - 13 really is unlucky for some! (Not me)

I reckon a few people will get the answer wrong if they haven't been following WRC for all that long. Count how many wins are listed on Petter Solberg's website... There's not 13 listed, there's one quite obvious omission.

How could there be 2 rallies in Wales during 2005? 61st Wales Rally of Great Britain ran 16 - 18 September 2005.

71st Wales Rally GB in 2005 How could there be 2 rallies in Wales during 2005? 61st Wales Rally of Great Britain ran 16 - 18 September 2005. Always count on Roo the Stats Master to put the facts straight. 2006 was the 62nd running of the event, so it was the 64th Wales Rally GB this year. But in 2007, it was the 75th Anniversary of the first running of the rally. How's that work I hear you say? The reason for the difference is because the event was not run between 1940 and 1950 ... WW II.
