    I had heard rumours of him possibly doing the Classic Safari Rally in November, but couldn’t work out how he could do that if “retired”.

    Could it mean Petter is kind of "leaving" Oliver on his own, which by the way is good, and now has time and even resources to drive races he never did before?

    Makes Oliver stand by himself in WRC2.

    Oliver is driving for TokSport, so he is not needed?

    Not what I meant. I know where Oliver will be in 2023.

    Petter in the meantime will get more time and resources to enjoy himself again.

    Yes, but it's well known that the Solberg family usually is really close and involved with Oliver's program, to the point that it's a bit harmful for him.

    Take a look for example with Rovanpera or Lindholm and how their fathers are a lot more distant and don't try to influence or be involved during rally weeks.

    Oliver was driving for a full manufacturer team with all the resources that God can find, and that didn't stop Petter hanging around, interfering and making a toss of himself.

    Moving to TokSport won't change his attitude or sense of necessity...

    What I mean, if you didn´t understand at all, it´s a new era coming for both Oliver and Petter as now family will let Oliver be educated elsewhere than by his family...

    And Petter gets free time for own pleasure.

    Time to let Oliver become more independant, and fight his own way.

    Only childs are harder to let go I guess.
