Oliver Solberg

[HKSjbg]

ERC is over, only remaining WRC2 chance is Japan, it’s a good international event to enter. Also one that he can likely win as well.

Does it really count as an ‘International’? I’m not even sure what that means these days anyway

I also think Oliver has best to do a year in WRC 2, low shoulders and good results.
And, maybe its good for him to change the flag in the window to something more red?

The pressure will still be on.

Well yeah, outside his home country and likely with more global rally media exposure

For the sake of British rallying I hope so!

Any thoughts on the reason for the decision to drive in the UK at the Cambrian Rally ?

Maybe coming back to the Solbergs' 'second home' and getting the attention of M-Sport with a good result ?

It just seems really strange to me and gives him everything to lose. Can you imagine if he gets beaten by Matt Hirst or someone?
Wouldn’t be surprised if the BRC are throwing money at him so they can have an extra car on the entry list.

I can't see the BRC 'throwing money' at some over-rated international rather than using that money to help that actual BRC competitors.....

Remember how it worked for Tänak and Evans?

Not necessarily comparable.

I'm with you Per, Solberg's choice is what is best for Solberg, and that's no help dropping down. If I put a team boss/financier hat on then dropping down might make sense, but I don't think that's the question right now. The question is a 2023 Puma drive either supported or not, MW can take it or not. There's no long-term investment for him.

Why not?
BRC have never supported UK competitors but events have often given free or supported entries to foreign competitors.

You have benchmark for domestic competitors.

Small correction, it is a good national event :-)
