Solberg Extends Lead at Rally Estonia

Oliver Solberg, in a one-off return to WRC's Rally1 class with Toyota, has extended his lead at Rally Estonia to over 21 seconds heading into the final day. The 23-year-old, who also leads the WRC2 championship this season, has shown remarkable speed and consistency despite limited preparation in the GR Yaris Rally1 car. Solberg kept ahead of champions Ott Tanak and Thierry Neuville, with Tanak making costly mistakes on Saturday that dropped him out of contention for the lead. Solberg described the event as the best of his career and expressed surprise at his own performance. Only three stages remain, and the threat of rain could impact the final result. Solberg stands on the verge of a historic maiden WRC victory with a new team.
