Solberg: Why WRC2 was the best option for 2024
Norwegian rally driver Oliver Solberg has signed a deal with Skoda Motorsport for the 2024 season, making him one of the favorites for the WRC2 title. Despite being considered by M-Sport, Solberg chose to join Skoda due to their strong offer and belief in his abilities. He decided to stick with what he knows and build on his existing success rather than take a chance with the new Toyota GR Yaris Rally2. Solberg will begin his points-scoring campaign in Sweden next month after competing in Monte Carlo this weekend. He aims to win the WRC2 title and believes the competition will be just as tough despite last year’s champion Andreas Mikkelsen moving up to Rally1. Additionally, Solberg has joined the ‘Quadrant Athletes’ program created by Lando Norris’ gaming and entertainment company, which seeks to engage new audiences through unique digital content.
