Petter and Pernilla Solberg hosted guests from the Scottish government at Rally Finland
We met with the full range of key stakeholders including the FIA, the WRC promoter, as well as team representatives including Malcolm Wilson of M-Sport and who is also the deputy president of the FIA. One of the most enthusiastic people in support of the Scottish project is Pernilla Solberg, President of the WRC FIA Commission and wife of 2003 champion Petter and mother of the young WRC winning star Oliver. To see the enthusiasm from everyone at the event certainly crystallised the opportunity for our guests. This was further endorsed by a meeting of Aberdeen City Council in the days thereafter where the project was formally supported with the immediate action to progress to a detailed local plan. It has taken real energy to counter the inertia inherent in creating a new event from scratch, but I feel the momentum is now gathering for the weeks ahead.
Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable month of motorsport.
Best regards, Hugh Chambers CEO, Motorsport UK
