Kristian Sohlberg rallies in WRC Finland
Kristian Sohlberg, 29, participates into WRC Finland with Mitsubishi Lancer WRC'05 rally car....
- My realistic goal in my home event is to rally be in top eight. This position will provide me Championship points. I'm very confident for it as I'm expecting the rally like never before, told Sohlberg.
In present season Kristian rallies in PWRC with his co-driver Risto Pietiläinen. Kristian contacted MMSP at the time when he was rallying in WRC Greece. After that the plans have taken good steps forward.
- John Easton, who is an operative leader for MMSP told me that they have one car available for WRC Finland. After few thoughts I decided to reserve that car. I couldn't have such good package from anywhere else, told Kristian, who is al ex-Mitsubishi works driver.
Previously Sohlberg has rallied with Mitsubishi Lancer WRC in season 2004.
- The interior looks quite familiar, but everything else has changed a lot since 2004. Technical developement has taken major steps forward from those times.
Sohlberg expects speedy and enjoyful rally.
- Earlier this week I was following the tests Lasse Lampi was doing in Finland. It looked quite good as the car suites well for Finnish roads.
One test day is included in the contract
- MMSP tests Mitsubishi Lancer WRC'05 in Finland with Lasse Lampi. My test day is just before the rally at the end of July.
Juho Hänninen and estonian Urmo Aava are also rallying with Mitsubishi Lancer WRC'05.
- In WRC Finland there are lots of drivers to be challenged. Also team mates Hänninen and Aava are one of them. It'll be very interesting to see their speed with similiar car, told Sohlberg.
