Before the competitions, Oliver Solberg told SVT Sport that he was a little nervous.
- Of course you are a little nervous.
But it will be nice to start driving a little, he said.
But when the first day of competition was decided on Friday in Finland, it was hard to believe him.
Admittedly he had it tough during the first leg but on the second the Swede was completely fearless and he drove like he never did anything else.
"Too good to be true"
- This is unbelievably good, what a ride.
He has fun and it releases immediately, it's too good to be true, I do not understand it, says SVT's expert Jonas Kruse in the broadcast.
The Swede had the fourth best time on the second leg and is after the first day eight in total.
- It was very fun, difficult but also fun.
I enjoy driving, says Solberg himself.
Arctic Rally continues this weekend and can be watched on SVT.
