The “M” on the back window denotes that the driver is a learner for the public highway and doesn’t have a full driving licence....that learner driver Oliver Solberg went fastest in qualifying for Rally Liepāja today.
The kid is fast !

Georg Gross. Thought he bought that Fiesta WRC. Is a backer also of Tanak I think. Drives often with Ford WRC Cars.Quote:

Plus I didnt realise he had done much of his rallying in Latvia. Might explain this speed here.
He started in Latvia age 15, its 16 yrs in both Norway and sweden, but in cars like R1 and Fiesta ST, he has driven a Peugeot R2 in Latvia last years.Quote:

But a quite decent start by Oliver, 3,5s in front of Brynhildsen that was on "maximum attack ".
Hopefully he has an other gear to put in this weekend.

Thanks. I'm afraid I was confusing him with Oscar Solberg who appeared in the British Rally Ch'ship a few times.Quote:

I think he is faster than most people believe
on fast gravel roads

And Latvia is not quite unknown to him.
The boy is young but he should not be underestimated
Yes, me too.Quote:

Go for SS1 right now :cool:
Žala done a good one !
Great time by this Zala dude!
No splits for Mareš ?
Ah last one has come in now.
Ingram fastest so far but Solberg is first one faster on splits. Sesks also pips him.
Seems there is quite a big cleaning affect here, judging by the poor times of Brynildsen and Griebel.
Stunning time by Solberg !
Strong start by youngsters Sesks and Solberg. Has Sesks driven R5 before?
Just checked ewrc-results, looks like this is a Sesks first start with R5. Solberg has done two others in Latvia with Polo this year.
No first time ! This is his prize drive for U27 Junior win in 2018.Quote:

Svedas should be faster ;)
Another great time by Sesks. And you know what... I follow Baltic rally championship closely more that 3 yrs and not wounder at all. He been so fast with R2 car and now straight away posting fastest times one by one.
Stage 1 was live on FB https://www.facebook.com/FiaEuropeanRallyChampionship
Didnt watch as thought it would be just stage end but there was actual live heli ...

A couple :D? I count at least nine: Per-Inge, Lars-Erik, Stig-Olov, Pernilla, Linda, Jimmie, Lukas, Jonathan and Felicia. Did I forget somebody ;)?Quote:

Solberg spun but still quick. Him and Sesks have been amazing.
In LRC- Gross start to attack Solberg leading place. -3.7 on first split SS03
Gorban hit a deer on SS03
Number of quality pairs (driver & co-driver) goes up as soon as series is back on mainland Europe. Good to see!
The youngsters give Luky a good fight for the top spot. Who will keep cars on the road all the way.
Guess Sesks have been training with 4wd before this one, and is impressive, so also Solberg, that started 4wd in rally this season, but has supercar experience.
Solberg already 6s faster than Ingram at Split 2. Amazing.
Solberg is actually saving honour of the Scandinavian drivers in this rally. Why are Brynildsen and Adielsson so very slow?Quote:

Would be nice if they could do the live stream on Youtube too, since a lot of people have Youtube apps on their tv.
