Clearly you are unable to discuss anything related to Oliver Solberg without getting into crazy fanboy level of protectiveness.
I wrote he did very well immediately in the first post and discussing what might be the best way forward. You manage to turn everything into his criticism without even reading it properly, even things that mention what what was good for him.
The last two sentences of yours are truly epic "shut up talking about him". "Discussion" forum in the best form.

I´m sorry for being a bit harsh.
However I still don´t like your hypothetical theories about what he´d done IF he drove WRC2 class instead. That´s ridicoulus. It is like you don´t really can fully admit his performance.
And yes, it´s very nice having Oliver in the WRC circus as a Swede. But more is what he contributes for the whole rallying world. No matter from where he is."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

One thing we should not forget is that this was a new rally for almost all drivers except kalle and oliver. With kalle driving it basically one month ago.
Still an impressive debut, but i'm not sure he would have lost only 1:39 when all drivers would have had the same road knowledge.
Let's see what the future brings.

His first rally in a full WRC car should negate any 'advantage' of driving in Lapland recently.
His driving was spectacular and reminded me of how the high-power WRX cars are driven (which he has also).
It's going to be great viewing if he gets some more top level drives with no pressure to be fastest and point-scoring.

Oliver said to parcferme.no that the road had changed so much since the national event that he didn't recognize himself and made brand new pace notes, also the WRC suits his driving style much more than the R5.
Ogier had told Petter Oliver putting pressure on him is one of the reasons he went off, also told Oliver that he used to have the "edge" on Petter but not on him
Oliver had 150km of test before Artic, I'm sure Kalle had quite a bit more before MC 2020.
I saw Oliver using the i20 WRC on RBR to get used to the speed, it feels really nice to drive so getting used to the speed and braking especially might have helped, who knows.Last edited by SubaruNorway; 1st March 2021 at 16:20.
