The "Official" WRC thread

[M-Sport fan]

I really do not care all that much about, or for the Toyota juggernaut and their almost billion$$ they throw at this sport in order to guarantee their wins/championships.

But, I do like Oliver as a driver and character and wish him all of the best in his Rally 1 endeavors.

I met him at one of the delayed stage starts (they were on the line when the stage was supposed to start and there was a delay, so they got out of the cars and talked with us workers under the start tent on that blazingly hot {like 96*F} day in the Maine forest) of the 2019 New England Forest Rally when he was driving one of the Scoobie Motorsport USA STIs.

Manxman Higgins won that year in the other one.

Yeah, he was a really cool, level headed kid even 6 years ago!

What a great day to wake up as a rally enthusiast. After witnessing Oliver Solbergs fairytale win yesterday, the morning is grey, it rained all night (when you live in the desert any weather variable is welcome), a little breakfast, on YouTube is recommended an old video of Chris Harris in his Ford Focus explaining left foot breaking. Also in my recommendations is a new video from Tyrrells Classic Garage featuring an Audi Quattro and something from Team O'neil on left foot braking as well. Now some Dirt Rally 2.0 on the XBOX and a daily challenge using a Lancia Fulvia in the wet in New Zealand. Bliss lol.

Yes, that was a miraculous win by the son of Petter!

But, it was also kind of expected when one has that DNA, and the backing of the most well funded and supported team in the history of the sport.

If I were Taka, I would be getting more than a little bit worried about my place on that team at this point (that he is a Japanese national might be the only thing keeping him in a Rally 1 car at Gazoo Racing).

I would give anything for the chance to drive one of those beasts! Their car control is in another world!
