Hyundai Motorsport World Rally Team has made a change to its WRC2 team for Safari replacing Pierre-Louis Loubet with 19-year-old Oliver Solberg. Solberg Senior finished the WRC Safari 5th in the 1999 and 2000 editions driving a Ford Focus and navigated by his eventual Championship-winning navigator Phil Mills. In 2000 and 2002, Petter retired in Safari after he lost a wheel and suffered engine gremlins on both occasions. Oliver was forced to withdraw from last week’s Rally Italia Sardegna after his father, the 2003 WRC champion Petter Solberg, tested positive for coronavirus. Oliver was gearing up for his second top-flight World Rally Championship outing with Hyundai at last weekend's s Italian event.
