World Rally Championship icon Petter Solberg is set to make a competitive rally return in the European Rally Championship next month.
The 2003 world champion will make a comeback at the Royal Rally of Scandinavia in Sweden, which hosts the third round of the ERC from 13-15 June. The rally is based in Karlstad, the former home of Rally Sweden. Solberg is due to pilot a family-owned Volkswagen Polo R5 car at the event alongside co-driver Jonas Andersson, who usually navigates for Gus Greensmith in WRC2.
“The priority is to drive the car – the first ever Polo R5 made, chassis number one – to make the smiles and to give something to the rally fans coming from Norway and for those people watching the ERC from around the world. “Last year we worked hard to help the organisers to build this event up and this is the same. Like always, we do everything we can to build rallying up some more. Petter Solberg , Volkswagen Polo GTi R5 Photo by: McKlein / McMaster “I don’t go there trying to win.
