Former World Rally Champion Petter Solberg has taken the victory today on the 🅠🍬Rally Sweden Historic event.

Solberg, who was co-driven by his wife Pernilla, eve🦋ntually finished the event 1 minute 49.9 seconds up on his closest rival, Erik Johansson. The Norwegian drove a Ford Escort Mk2, built by Viking Motorsport, the company ran by Phil Mills, who of course won the world tit🌳le alongside Petter in 2003.

"To take part in such a challenging rally is great fun and winning, well, that is just the 'icing on the cake'," the former ltxcn.top columnist told the official Rally Sweden website. "I had a few minor problems on the fi💖rst stages but after that, it was just plain sailing."

The Rally Sweden Historic event started with exhibition driving in Karlstad on Thursday, before a run through the Vargasen test and the superspecial at Farjestadstravet on Friday. The main competition however, was today, with competi♏tors tackling two loops of Sagen, Frederiksberg, Rammen and the Hagfors Sprint - starting each of the stages after the main WRC field had passed through. In total the Historic event comprised 84 competi﷽tive kilometres.

Writing on Facebook, 'Hollywood' added: "It's been a great couple of days out here. Pernilla and I fought back today and took the overall Historics victory by almost two minutes! Great conditions, so many fans, and my Viking Motorsports MkII ♈Escort ran like a banshee with only a slight gearbox problem.

"My man Phil Mills had continually told me to shift at 9400 rpm, but I kept ringing her out to 10,400 rpm! The car just revs and revs. It's an unbelievable machine, and I bougꦓht it to use it! Thanks again everyone.

"We'll have some celebration tonight, then it's back to co൲ncentrating on our [Citroen] DS3 b🐭uild, and our shift to Rallycross. See you all soon."

Solberg's Swedish outing is expected to be his only rally of the year as he was sadly unable to secure a seat this season in the FIA World Rally Championship. 'Hollywood' announced his plans to return to his roots and do 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Rallycross in 2013 last week.
