Petter Solberg has admitted that he would consider taking part in next year's Super 2000 World Cup after testing an Abarth Grande Punto S2000 on gravel recently, according to Motorsport News.
The Super 2000 World Cup, which is to be introduced in 2010 as a new competition within the WRC, will be open to manufacturers and private teams alike.
Solberg said:
Provided the manufacturer is coming in and the looking to make the commitment with a car for the world championship, then yes, I would consider it.
Nothing is sure about next year. I have meetings with Proton and with Abarth and with some other contacts, but nothing is decided. I want to be in a manufacturer team and I want to be back pushing for a new car to be developed and promoted.
Commenting on the Abarth test, Solberg added:
I didn't have any problems with the car at all. It's not a winning car yet, but there's a lot of passion in there.
