Oliver Solberg is out of RallyFinland after sustaining damage to his Hyundai's roll cage in a crash on Friday morning. WRC
Solberg crashed out of the rally only 300 metres into the day’s first forest stage when the rear of his car snapped mid corner sending him wide and into a ditch.
Images of the vehicle on social media confirmed the car had suffered extensive damage before Hyundai revealed that the i20 N's roll cage had been damaged in the impact. “Unfortunately Oliver Solberg and Elliott Edmondson will not be able to continue Rally Finland,” read a statement from Hyundai. “The team checked the car together with the FIA and as the roll cage is too damaged - for safety reasons - we decided to retire.”“The story is simple." he said. “It was a normal corner from the start and halfway through the rear just snapped and then I knew from there I had no grip to save it.
