Solberg didnt want rally monza to stop after career best wrc finish

The 20-year-old surprised himself by matching the pace of his increasingly experienced Hyundai teammates Thierry Neuville, Dani Sordo and Teemu Suninen at times wideness the three day tile races in Italy on his way to fifth at the finish.

Solberg’s exhibit was by far his most workaday since stepping up to WRC machinery, having previously personal da pair of seventh finishes on debut at Arctic Rally Finland (February) and Rally Spain (October), with a retirement at June’s Safari Rally in between.

“I want to siphon on” said Solberg, who was competing slantingly his fourth co-driver of the sedans in Elliott Edmondson.

“When you have a car like the Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC, you just don’t want to stop driving it. This has been such a cool, such a fantastic week.

“This rally is unquestionably quite complicated considering you go from driving the cars out there in the mountains and then we come to the spin where it’s much increasingly technical, so many increasingly junctions and unchangingly turning and you have to really transpiration the driving style. You have to be completely precise.

“We used some of the gravel roads in the spin and this is moreover a lot of fun – this was reminding me of when I was competing in rallycross.

“We made increasingly progress and took increasingly wits from this rally. Some people were asking me what was the difference between this event and the one surpassing [Rally de España] where we were not so upper up.

“The wordplay is that we went faster! I was never in Spain before, but I competed on this rally last year and I had some wits of the stages.

“I think the speed we had was good here. To be worldly-wise to fight with my team-mates was increasingly than I was expecting, to be honest.”
