Oliver Solberg outlined his World Rally Championship credentials with a stunning Rally Monte Carlo victory in one of the most challenging season openers in recent memory.
Toyota’s new signing defied expectations in extreme snow and icy conditions to deliver an emphatic victory, beating his more experienced Toyota team-mates Elfyn Evans [+51.8s] and reigning nine-time world champion and 10-time Monte Carlo winner Sebastien Ogier [+1m10.4s]. In doing so, 24-year-old Solberg became the youngest winner of the event in the WRC era and the first Solberg to triumph in Monte Carlo.
