Petter Solberg

Rally legend and wash master.

Petter Solberg has always lived life at 110%, and has been a huge crowd favourite thanks to his charismatic personality and spectacular driving style.

After ending his full-time competition career in 2019, Petter keeps driving his son’s WRC dream forward and is involved in several successful business and motorsport projects. The next chapter promises to be even more exciting.

  • FIA World Champion

    Winner of three FIA world championships.

  • Champion in two disciplines

    The first driver ever to win FIA championships in two different disciplines.

  • FIA Teams Champion

    Two-time winner of the FIA Teams Championship.

Rally driver, entrepreneur and wash master.

Throughout his career Petter has washed and looked after his vehicles with care, in the wet and in the dry. With an eye for detail, quality and finish he is not only a rally champion, but a true wash master too.
