Oliver Solberg leads the World Rally Championship standings after a stunning victory at Monte Carlo, marking the first time a Swede has topped the championship in over 30 years. As he gears up for Rally Sweden, the only snow event on the calendar, Solberg emphasizes a measured approach: “I’m taking everything rally-by-rally.” The 24-year-old, son of 2003 champion Petter Solberg, is among the favorites despite the challenge of starting first on the road. He has won the event in three previous attempts in WRC2. Solberg relishes the home rally atmosphere, stating, “It’s the most fun that you can have in a rally car.” Teammate Elfyn Evans, who won last year from the front, highlights the potential for success depending on conditions. The 18-stage Rally Sweden kicks off Thursday night.
