Puncture For Solberg

Oliver Solberg would suffer a puncture on SS7. The puncture would ultimately cause too much damage to his car and he would be forced to retire from the day. Solberg does plan on restarting the rally on day three, so prepare to see more Oliver Solberg stage wins. Fortunately for Solberg, this setback doesn’t cost him much. As Solberg elected to not score points at the Safari Rally Kenya. This is a result of Solberg wanting to win the WRC2 championship against a more stacked field of WRC2 drivers.
