Today Carl Philip got to drive one of the stages in the rally.
During the afternoon, Carl Philip drove one of the stages of the Rally, a display at the Umeås sprint which is 5.16 kilometers long. By his side in the car, Petter Solberg, world champion in rally in 2003 and double world champion in rallycross in 2014 and 2015.
- It's always fun, it was very fun to do it together with Petter but without notes and the first time in the car. So it's special but great fun, says Carl Philip to SVT Sport.
Petter Solberg:
- Great fun, he's not afraid, nice car control, it would have been fun if I could have given him notes. He really wanted to jump and landed hard on the front, it was fun.
