Oliver Solberg

[M5]

If R5 is the only option next year what is the best option in your mind

1 Go for team solbeg with polo
2 Team solberg but another car
3 Try to get a seat with Toksport
4 Go for M-sport Fiesta, and maybe get a Puma option, and work for Puma seat in 2024

TokSport is "car rental" company just like many others.
For Oliver I would start season (SWE and/or Mexico) with Polo and if/when FabiaRS is absolutely reliable, switch to it Portugal/Sardinia time

I think that option 4 with M-Sport gives him the best chanse to drive Rally1 car.

I think that option 4 with M-Sport gives him the best chanse to drive Rally1 car.

But option 4 also gives him the worst chance in Rally2, if he wants to win wrc2 this year or atleast show good pace. i think rather Polo private entries and if possible payed M-sport Rally1 outings.

If RedBull came to Oliver and said, we would like to have you on our A-List. He would then be part of a professional motorsport environment.

Could that happen, and that the solbergs leave Monster for RedBull and MSport?

Offer them enough money and I'm sure Oliver would drive with anything written on the car. That's what it all comes down to.

I would guess Monster is more of a long time partnership that is not ditched for a single season funding.

There are already more than enough drivers in RedBull A-list (Loeb, Ogier, Kalle, Neuville, Katsuta + many Rally2 drivers)

No offer to Oliver!

How many of those are 'Red Bull A-list' though? I get the impression that not all Red Bull athletes are in the same boat... You have the likes of Loeb, who I imagine is funded out of a kind of 'Central Bank of Red Bull', whereas at the other end you've got your Katsuta's or Evans, who I imagine are more on pocket money deals by comparison, dished out by the equivalent of a 'Red Bull regional development fund'.

If Oliver were to be offered a big money, multi year deal from the 'Central Bank of Red Bull', it'd probably be worth switching. If it's a standard 'Red Bull Athlete' association, he's presumably much better off trying to work with Monster. As much as I like Oliver, I see no reason to believe he'd be getting offered the former big deal at this point in his career.
