Petter Solberg and his co-driver, Phil Mills have both had to endure a pretty miserable season again this year.
Crash.net Radio caught up with Phil at the recent Rallyday event in the UK and spoke to the Welshman about the show at Castle Combe, how tough things have been in 2007, the future and lots, lots more...
Crash.net:
Phil, you are a regular at the Rallyday - are you enjoying this year’s show?
Phil Mills:
Absolutely, it is just so nice to come here and see the enthusiasm and a lot of the older cars rather than the modern stuff. All the things that are here is the stuff that was impressionable on me when I was growing up and it got me into the sport in the first place. It is always a pleasure to come here and get involved with this type of thing.
Crash.net:
There is a good turn-out isn’t there?
PM:
It is fantastic. I don’t know how many people have come through the gates and obviously we have got this new event in Chatsworth now, which everybody thought would take the sting out of this event, but standing here now and looking down on the people walking around here, it is just incredible. I don’t think it has made any difference at all.
Crash.net:
It’s a shame isn’t it that these two rally shows are happening on back-to-back weekends and aren’t a bit more spaced out?
PM:
It is - and there is always a danger of having too many of these types of shows. This has always been successful and they have obviously tried to copy this and I am sure they will have a good day. But there is also a danger you can over do it, which is always a shame.
Crash.net:
This season has obviously been a difficult one for you and Petter. How are things looking ahead of the final five events?
