SOLBERG TO DEBUT

AT A SWEDISH RALLY

The upcoming Swedish rally (13–16 February) will be the

competition where Oliver Solberg (SWE) and navigator Aaron

Johnston (IRL) make their debut in the FABIA Rally2 evo. This

represents the beginning of a cooperation of Oliver Solberg’s team

and ŠKODA Motorsport, which will also span the European part of

the WRC3 category at the FIA World Rally Championship in 2020.

With 13 cars, ŠKODA will no doubt be the most popular brand at

the Swedish starting grid within the Rally2 category (previously R5).

Our special will be privately driven also by Pontus Tidemand, who

won the WRC2 title for ŠKODA in 2017. The ice challenge will

also be faced by Junior European Champions (ERC1) Filip Mareš/

Jan Hloušek.

NUMBER OF THE WEEK

9.716

The ŠKODA 633, produced between 1931–1934, set out on a unique

journey on 17 February 1933. Jiří Hanuš, the son of the former CEO of

the ŠKODA plants, chose this car to travel across the Sahara desert. The

starting point was the village of Radlík in central Bohemia. From there, Hanuš

drove to Marseilles in France and then travelled to Algeria by boat. Exactly

one month later he reached Dakar in Senegal, without a single break-down.

He drove a total of 9 716 kilometers, out of which 6 546 were in Africa.
