Oliver Solberg (Swedish pronunciation:[ˈɔ̌lːɪvɛrˈsûːlbærj]; born 23 September 2001) is a Swedish rally driver. He is the son of the Norwegian 2003 World Rally Champion, Petter Solberg, and Swedish mother Pernilla Walfridsson, who is also a successful former rally driver.[2] After winning multiple crosskarting championships in his early years, Solberg became the 2018 RallyX Nordic Champion and 2019 FIA ERC1 Junior Champion before following in his father's footsteps and entering the World Rally Championship.
In 2022 he competed at the top level of the WRC for the first time as the third driver for Hyundai Motorsport, driving the new Rally1 car. In 2023, Oliver returned to WRC2 competition, winning his first points-scoring event at Rally Sweden 2023.
In 2024, Solberg joined Formula 1 driver Lando Norris' Quadrant Athlete program alongside three others, including WMX racer Lotte van Drunen, Moto3 pilot Iván Ortolá, and Olympic Gold medal winner Keegan Palmer.[3]
