The world champion gets the chance – drives in the highest class

Oliver Solberg won the World Championship title in September. Now the Swede gets his chance in the top class.

“Many dreams have come true for me this year and I am truly grateful to be part of this fantastic team,” says the rally driver in a press release.

“We have to be realistic because we still have a lot to learn but we are going to have fun and do our best.”

The 24-year-old drove in the second highest class, WRC2, last season and secured the world championship title in September.

Last summer, Solberg drove in the top class – when he replaced Sébastien Ogier – and won the eighth round in Estonia. He then took the first Swedish victory in 28 years.
