It took 13h20m of work for a team of mechanics led by the Portuguese Marco Moreiras, who put Oliver Solberg’s VW Polo as new. When the car came to the service and began to assess the damage, Marco Moreiras was divided: “When I saw the car for the first time, I thought it was an impossible mission, but we started trying to rebuild the entire rear of the car. Even Petter (Solberg) and his wife (Pernilla) worked with us during the night. In total, it was 13 hours and 20 minutes of work, a long time with the sledgehammer! ”Said the Portuguese mechanic.

The truth is, when they woke up, Oliver Solberg and Aaron Johnston had a practically immaculate car waiting for them. The Polo GTi R5 was then subjected to an inspection by the FIA ​​technical commissioners, who validated the safety conditions of the German car and allowed the pair to line up on the first leg at 9:00 am. There, Solberg set the second fastest time, just 0.1 seconds behind his great rival in the title fight, Alexey Lukyanuk, with a dizzying average of 116.8 km / h… “The mechanics did a fantastic job! They worked all night without resting, ”said the young Swedish driver.
