Oliver Solberg

Oliver Solberg (born 23 September 2001) is a Norwegian-born Swedish rally driver who competes in the World Rally Championship (WRC) for Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT. As the son of 2003 World Rally champion Petter Solberg and WRC Commission president Pernilla Solberg, he became the 2025 WRC2 champion alongside co-driver Elliott Edmondson, and achieved his maiden WRC overall victory at a one-off appearance at the 2025 Rally Estonia. After winning multiple crosskarting championships in his early years, Solberg became the RallyX Nordic Champion in 2018 and the FIA ERC1 Junior Champion in 2020. He made his WRC debut at the 2019 Wales Rally GB. In 2022, Solberg had a permanent part-time seat at the top level of the WRC for the first time as the third driver for Hyundai Motorsport, driving the new Rally1 car. In 2023, Solberg returned to the WRC2 competition, winning his first points-scoring event at the 2023 Rally Sweden. He returned to the top level as a full-time driver in 2026.
