Henning Solberg will be out to open his account for the year on the Corona Rally Mexico this weekend. The Norwegian would have almost certainly have been on the podium in Sweden but for that costly off on day two.
Crash.net Radio caught up with him recently ahead of the third round in the championship...
Crash.net:
Henning, how much are you looking forward to the Rally Mexico and getting back onto gravel?
Henning Solberg:
It is good. We have been testing the car and I like it. We will see when we start the rally though how exactly we get on.
Crash.net:
You showed great pace in Sweden but in the end missed out on a podium. Does that make you extra determined to try and do well this weekend?
HS:
Of course. I really need some points.
Crash.net:
What have you made of the Pirelli tyres this year and how have you got on with the new 'Scorpion' gravel tyres that you will use this weekend for the first time?
HS:
It is a good choice with the regulations [having a control tyre]. I think the Scorpion is a good tyre. I liked it straight away.
Crash.net:
Is this event going to be any different without run-flat mousse?
HS:
Yeah, if we hit something we have no air. That is a big problem. But the tyre itself is good.
