Another thing worth considering is that Oliver probably wanted to drive his home event in Sweden with the WRC, and this is Sweden's replacement

Petter Solberg
Oliver Solberg is making his World Rally Car debut at the Arctic Rally in the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC!
Too early? Well, Andrea Adamo called us with the fantastic offer, and reminded me that I made my WRC car debut with only one week notice - and that ended not too badly with 5th at the Safari Rally in 1999
After that I didn't really have anything to say back, it was a fair point! So Oliver has a fantastic opportunity making his full World Rally Car debut later this month - very exciting, and a great learning experience for the future

He has nothing to lose. Let the kid have fun in a world rally car.

Oliver Solberg:
The only target for me at the Arctic Rally Finland will be to learn and take the experience. I want to come out of every stage understanding the i20 Coupe WRC more and more. At the same time, I do want to see progression with the times, that’s also important for me !

Only been able to watch Oliver driving a car twice, one test and one rally and now he's already in WRC and i will miss that too

As someone who has seen Oliver and Kalle grow up on Latvia’s roads I can’t wait see this duel

That's not really true.
He loses one of his best chances for good WRC2 result.
What does he gain? I'm not so sure. Does he need more publicity? Not really. Does he need to learn an old model of a car that gets replaced at the end of the year?
I think it's at best a distraction at worst a misstep.

Yes, I suppose it could be that simple. Evans is a bit the reverse, he didn’t seem to gel with the hybrid car, but looks back to his pre-hybrid level now its gone. Only Kalle knows if he is motivated...
