Solberg: Why WRC2 was the best option for 2024
Norwegian rally driver Oliver Solberg is expected to be a top contender for the WRC2 title this year. After finishing sixth in the championship last year, he signed a deal with Skoda Motorsport and will be driving the Fabia RS Rally2 car for the Toksport squad. Solberg was a potential option for M-Sport, but they ultimately chose to promote Adrien Fourmaux and Gregoire Munster from their own Rally2 squad. Solberg made the decision to join Skoda because of the great offer and belief in his abilities. He will begin his points-scoring campaign in Sweden next month. Despite last year’s champion Andreas Mikkelsen moving to Rally1 with Hyundai, Solberg is still confident in his chances of winning the title this year. He aims to drive as good as possible and learn for the future. Solberg has also become one of four ‘Quadrant Athletes’ in a new programme devised by Lando Norris’s gaming, apparel, and entertainment company.
