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.

Mere days before the pre-season test period begins, Adrian Sutil is still refusing to give up on his formula one comeback for 2013.
Once considered the hot favourite to return with his former team Force India this year, the long delay has caused some commentators to assume that German Sutil, 30, is now less likely to race.
But Sutil's manager Manfred Zimmermann insisted: "Basically, we still believe in the 2013 comeback."

He also admitted to
DPA news agency, however, that he is "not sure" if Sutil will have a cockpit to occupy for the forthcoming opening 2013 test at Jerez.
"At the moment we are waiting for the final decision, and of course we would prefer it sooner rather than later," Zimmermann said.
As for whether Timo Glock's shock departure at Marussia had contributed to the delay, Sutil's manager said the events are "unrelated", whilst acknowledging that the pay-driver situation was "significant for F1".
