From Lebanon to cross-category world titles - a rally legend's top 10

By:

Petter Solberg has called time on his top-flight career after winning titles in two FIA world championships. Here, the 2003 rally and '14/15 rallycross king recalls his 10 best events - including the moment where all his success began

As a four-time winner of Rally GB, it was fitting that 2003 World Rally champion Petter Solberg should bring an illustrious spell in rallying and rallycross to a close on the event at which he had enjoyed more success than at any other.

It's little surprise either, then, that two of those GB successes rank among the most memorable of Solberg's results, though there was far more to his career than supremacy in the Welsh forests.
