While many fathers are struggling to keep up with their sons in the virtual world, Petter Solberg is within range of his son, Oliver. Solberg, who is a three-time FIA World Champion, is using lockdown to compete in various competitions online. He's competed in The Race Legends Trophy and is also competing in the Solberg World Cup, a competition he and his son founded. He's also tried his hand at racing 1970s Formula One cars against multiple F1 Champions. However, it's this video that shows the true concentration and dedication that is being applied to virtual racing and rallying - not only in the Solberg household but around the world. "I can tell you when those driving gloves go on the focus and desire to win is just the same on a game as in real life!" Petter explained. "I'm so gutted, such a shame after all the practice - and I actually had really good speed. But that's rallying, and I hope all of you have better luck than me in the Solberg World Cup."
