Solberg tested the C4 for two more days over the weekend, having already competed on two national rallies in Norway to get himself ready for Thursday's season opener - which will also be the 2003 World Rally champion's 150th WRC start."This is the year I really believe I have the tools to be able to fight at the very top again," said Solberg. "I have kept dreaming about this opportunity for such a long time and we have all put in very, very long hours to make it happen."With fantastic support from our sponsors we have been able to get the budget together, enabling us to get the equipment to fight for wins."Solberg's co-driver, Welshman Phil Mills added: "We are just as committed as ever and have never given up the hope to reach the top again. After a few days testing in Sweden and Norway we are now as prepared as we can get, and we look forward to the WRC season 2010."
