[WRC] News & Rumours (part V) 2017

[RS]

Oliver Solberg is lining up his WRC debut at Wales GB 2018. His plan is to combine his Latvian and Estonian championships with the ERC. It doesn't specific but I have to assume in the U27 championship as he's running a 208 with support from Peugeot Norway. And then he'll be 17 in time to do GB. Petter confirmed he wanted to do the GB reece this year but isn't old enough.

Can drivers run in ERC before they turn 17 then?

I don't know - honestly I was quite surprised to see this. Exact wording of the article is:

[Solberg] has been competing in Latvia and Estonia this season and he will target both of those titles in 2018 with the aim of also contesting five rounds of the FIA European Rally Championship. Solberg's birthday comes on September 23, which would mean he will be 17 and eligible for a Rally GB entry next year.

I think we should note when copypasting machine translated material, there's usually something lost in translation, same with the Sordo/Clark tweets yesterday

Other than that, I think it would be good for Lefebvre to take a year off in WRC2. If he could win WRC2 in some rallies, it would do good for his confidence. Being the slowest WRC and crashing constantly is taking him nowhere.

i don't thinh that something is lost in translation,just Lefebvre annoyed from Dobros post.

Today Ogier's twitter has him on holiday in New York.

Seeing that he wanted his future decided early, does this mean his 2018 is already sorted...
