"The 2024 season is fast-approaching and I can’t wait to share my plans with you guys very soon! ����"

Oliver Solberg

Would really be a good thing to see him in a 4th Toyota Monster-backed car to support a bit the competition.
He was not totally disaster last year (compared with Fourmaux) and in this situation, having another Rally1 car with a driver with some potential is better than nothing.
I think it could be coherent in 2024 as the 4th car would be much more available (probably at least 10 rallies) compared with 2023.

M-Sport is more complicated due to sponsorship issue (and I admit I like the idea to see Lindholm there)

Huge program would be wrc2 with new Yaris and 2-3 events with 4th rally1 Yaris.
However, Skoda needs someone to keep their car on top level.. (sry, can't see Gus, or Bulacia doing that..)
If Skoda really takes wrc2 program as Manu then Toksport would change their cars..?
Very exciting silly season so far eith one new wrc2 car coming out.

True, the new (unproven) Yaris rally 2 shakes things up! Even before we know its gonna be as fast as most think..

Oliver in Rally1 car would be good for wrc1 championship! If its a Ford or the 4th Toyota... Doesn't matter, Olliver is one of the few guys ho could be competitive in the short term.

Rally2 wil be nice to follow! Good drivers and 4 or 5 cars that are somewhat equal..

I hope it is Rally1. He deserves it and belongs in one.

Oliver has the one thing teambosses look for: natural speed.

It is easier to teach drivers to get to the finish, by holding back, than teaching them to improve their speed limit.

I think we will see Oliver in a Rally1 car in 2024. If it will be fulltime or part time remain to be seen!

[turdzi]

Totally agree

Another is a will to get involved with publicity and promotion.
