Solberg admits Catalunya is a race he enjoys

Banbury-based Subaru's Norwegian driver Petter Solberg has said he is looking forward to the next round of the World Rally Championship in Catalunya.

"I've been preparing myself to the maximum since New Zealand and I hope we can build on what we had in Germany," said Solberg.

"I really had good fun driving there, so I definitely hope we can have even more fun in Spain.

"It won't be easy, but it's a rally I like and the route is fun to drive."

Alongside the Banbury works' entries of Solberg and Chris Atkinson, Subaru will run a third factory car driven by Frenchman Brice Tirabassi for both this rally and the next round in Corsica.
