CHAPTER 418 Ft. Petter Solberg
Notas do episódio
Petter Solberg sits down with Jase for Chapter 418 to tell the full story of how a broke Norwegian farm kid became the only Norwegian to ever win the World Rally Championship.
From racing Beetles in the mud and earning £15,000 a year as a carpenter, to signing with Ford alongside Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz, the crash that changed his career, winning the 2003 WRC title, and raising his son Oliver as the next generation.
They cover the golden era of WRC, the wild party scene of 2000s rally, Petter’s rallycross years battling Sébastien Loeb, keeping sponsors happy, his wife Pernilla and how they built an empire together, and Jase getting behind the wheel of Petter’s rally car.
Whether you grew up playing Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation or you’re discovering the sport through Oliver Solberg, this is two decades of rally history told by the man who lived it.
