Oliver Solberg Clock in the morning jogging for the first two bottom time of his career in the World Cup, even though the man is only driven to his first race by the Toyota Rally1 car. Of course, the Swedish has two full seasons in the Hyundai number one car, but over three years ago.
In Estonia, 23-year-old Solberg has decided to show that he belongs to the top level. Sure, the race is still a long time left, but at least the start has been great.
How good did the bottom times and the lead in the race feel?
– It goes to levels when I got married. Or maybe it feels even better, Solberg grinned.
– I couldn’t wait for this, but hardly anyone else. It’s been really cool and fun. The car is incredibly good to drive. I’ve had a big smile on my lips all the time. These are a little empty words. Normally I speak a lot, but now I don’t really know what to say.
Solberg even has the keys to winning if the same pace continues with the afternoon jogging. Sure, on Saturday, the situation is leveled out, but the Swedish still has a snack to run a brilliant result in their debut race at the Toyota factory stable.
– I’ve never been in this situation before, so I have no idea what to do. A bit at a time, and as I said yesterday, I just try to enjoy. Then the times are what they are, Solberg summed up.
– You can always say that the situation is in control, but when you compete against this level against friends, risks always exist. However, the feeling in the car is confident and I’m calm. As long as the situation is like this, everything is fine.
