**Driving with Oliver Solberg: A Thrilling Experience**

The thrill of driving with Oliver Solberg was an experience I will never forget. As a huge fan of rally racing, I had the privilege of jumping into the passenger seat of a car driven by one of my heroes. The car in question was a beast on wheels, and I was eager to see how it would perform on the track.

**The Brake Pad Smoking**

As we began our lap around the track, I couldn't help but notice that the brake pads were smoking heavily. This wasn't surprising, given the high speeds we were reaching and the fact that the car's tires were getting scorching hot by the end of each lap. "It's like when we were doing the braking test," Oliver explained to me as we accelerated out of the corner. "The brakes are so hot, they're constantly pulling you in." I could feel the force of the brake pads pushing against my chest, and it was exhilarating.

**Weight Management: The Key to Speed**

As we continued our lap, I realized that weight management was playing a crucial role in Oliver's driving style. "It's about keeping the rhythm," he said. "You can't just push the car too hard; you have to finesse it." By managing his weight and using the correct amount of throttle, Oliver was able to maintain traction and control even at high speeds.

**Tire Tread: The Real Test**

As we hit the straightaway, I couldn't help but notice how little tread there was left on the tires. "They're like chewing gum," Oliver joked as he expertly navigated the corners. I could feel the car vibrating beneath me, and it was clear that the tires were at their limit. When one of them finally blew out, I was shocked – the tire just disappeared into thin air.

**Safety First**

After our thrilling ride, we pulled over to let the marshals inspect the car and replace the flat tire. As I stepped out of the passenger seat, I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that we hadn't crashed or worse. "It's like when you're following orders," Oliver laughed as he stood up from his seat. We had been instructed to drive these cars until they were pushed to their limits, and I was grateful that we had done so safely.

**A Legend in the Making**

As we watched the marshals work on the car, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the skill and expertise of Oliver Solberg. He was a true rally legend, and it was an honor to have met him. When he told me that his father, Petter Solberg, had been a big influence on him, I knew that I was in the presence of greatness.

**A Short but Sweet Ride**

Despite our short time together, the experience of driving with Oliver Solberg was one that I will never forget. We may not have set any records or won any races, but we certainly had a blast – and that's what it's all about. So if you ever get the chance to drive with a rally legend like Oliver Solberg, take it. You won't regret it.

**A Heartfelt Thank You**

I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to Sho UK for flying us out to the track and providing us with an incredible experience. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I am so grateful to have had the chance to meet Oliver Solberg and drive his car.

**Stay Safe, and Keep Exploring**

As we parted ways with Oliver and our trusty steed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for what's to come. If you're like me and love rally racing, then stay tuned for more content from Peted For Plenty – we've got plenty more adventures in store for you!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys and welcome to petrop ped and welcome to czechia I am here with schod for something pretty cool just going off in that enyak vrs is my good mate schar 150 and the co-driver is none other than Oliver Solberg we are here to basically give an enyak vrs some Mega amount of grief we've got a handling circuit just over there and we've got well it's going to be really cool first up I'm going to go around and have Oliver soberg just basically show me the lines show me the ropes give me some tips I'm then going to have a couple of laps of practice and then we're going to finish up this video with Oliver showing me exactly how you should drive an enyak vrs around here I think it's going to be quite dramatic awesome welcome to the channel thank you well I didn't expect to be on the channel but man absolutely amazing I of a so B so you're going to show me the way around yeah then I'm going to get to practice Yeah and then you're going to drive me and show me where I'm going wrong yeah excellent if you do anything wrong maybe not I don't know so we can start with Sport and yeah get some sport mode on and then traction control off yeah so this is a standard vrs completely standard vrs but we were supposed to use a proper one yeah we're not allowed to say what happened to that one Let's uh say the this was the purpose car yeah exactly exactly so this is like a little this is a complete car test facility here right yeah a polygon for uh for scoda so we I tested some cars here before and then uh we make our own course then basically just to depending how we want to make it it's pretty cool so I did a ve one sighting lap yeah I'm not going to go right there no that will be a bad idea there was one guy who try that yeah but it's a pretty it's quite actually a little fun track you have a bit of Technical and chicanes and then you have a bit more flowing Corners as well go up there up there yeah and then this is a long left short LIF bit of an acceleration down to a hairpin right so it's important to get the exit here so you can go early on thrott to get that long straight speed down that's good we got no hand brake in this one unfortunately the brakes are pretty good you feel there's a lot of weight you have to move you know so these are 2.3 tons pretty much from The Briefing this morning yeah it's a lot of weight to hang around this is tight this is tight first lap the tires will be fine and the brakes will be fine but on the second lap the tires will overheat very quick when you push it long sweeping left to a flat short right all right and a medium left and a medium right long oh man having past notes called out for you that's epic medium left and like a short right yeah and then uh hairpin left then do we go around again yeah go for it I'll go with you open or open open open open so you use the speed with you oh yeah yeah so you Ed the extra speed to do this short Chaine tide left long tight right into a short left and then uh fast long left Pace notes by all of a sber himself short right short left I'm a bit late with P notes I've did I've done a tiny bit of driving in rally cars with past notes and it amazes me how you guys have the bandwidth to drive a car fast listen to the PACE notes yeah you're just the best drivers in Motorsport and I'm not just saying that cuz you sat next to me no I'm always said that I think rally drivers are I believe we are I don't want to be cocky or anything but I believe we are very good drivers you will you will have heard this I'm sure I had someone tell me once the difference between a rally driver and a Formula 1 driver well we've done Race of Champions a couple of years yeah yeah and me and my dad has won it now together every time yeah cuz your dad's a legend and uh the Formula 1 drivers have never beaten us but they say a not yet a Formula 1 driver takes one corner a thousand times yeah and a rally driver takes a th000 Corners once exactly exactly yeah I've never heard that one before you can you can have that one on me yeah thank you I'll start saying that now that's a good one do another left okay oh see out there no now I'm wi the nice with the electric torque is that you can get instant exit power so you with the weight you have to be a bit more careful on the entry yeah and then you can use the torque to rotate the car to get a better exit early yeah but it's always there isn't it as seem as you're at the Apex I've driven a few of cars on track before and uh it's a just a different technique right you yeah it's a different technique so here is been to break a bit early yeah turn in and then you accelerate earlier to get the torque with you out that was very good that was a good one I'll take that from you try that again here a little bit earlier I was late yeah a bit of like that not that that was bad overdriving overdrive because it's so much weight you have to get sto yeah that it's better to be a bit slower on Entry to use the torque you can out so here better to wait wait wait and go to get this fast left with you and then flat toward right this tightens a bit you can feel the tires start overheat they going they are they are mush he's in a good safe position there all right then I'll probably best drop you off before they start shouting it me do we go in there and go in here right I know how to do it now well not bad oh thank you so I'm going to I'm going to practice Yeah and then at the end of this video you're going to show me how it's done yeah let's do that thank you good driving thank you hot now man gets warm in here I have a beanie and a jacket I know right that's yeah but that's part of the image and you're sponsored so yeah I have to he pays the bills I know I've got melin but I'm hiding it cuz this car's not on melin plus I'm in p man so please hide in yeah of course you thank you cheers buddy well it's not every day you get Oliver Solberg giving you hints and tips about how to drive a car now let me just talk you through this car it is a standard enyak vrs all electric um it's big downside it's 2.3 tons so you've got a lot of weight but even on this handling course that we've got here you can get on the power straight away there get all my braking done I've Got to Now learn from the master get on the power there so get all the braking done in a straight line so you're not trying to carry that mass through the corners on the brakes early probably a little bit too early get my slowing down done then I'm back then on the power it's pretty tight here pretty tight that everyone everyone's enjoying it because I'm getting some squeal over break myself there massively tires are going off now I've done what five laps tires are going off I'm getting hot what a thing what a thing so what we've also been doing while we've been here today with schod is some work on the wet breaking and handling on the kick plate just to really get a heads round this car sadly we should have been driving another car today but things didn't quite work out for us so we're just having some fun instead with this car this long all right I think I'm going to take her in for a cool down oh that's a lot of fun think we'll call the tires down now I love the smell of burning brakes in the morning so we are at basically shot's test facility that they use here in jaia now behind me I didn't film it because just the way it was done there's a kick plate there and then we did some wet weather braking at the top just to kind of put the cars through their paces and get a feel for them but we are literally using standard enyak we've got two here uh this is the one I was using on the brake test just um I mean I love that color from scoda anyway but now we're in vrss and we're on this little handling circuit I've done my laps I've got my eye in I got the car coming back with the brake well the brake pad smoking quite heavily and now it's time to have some fun with Ollie showing us how it's done markk properly putting that car through its Paces good to see good lad the thing is the the cars are so heavy by by the time you get to the end of a few laps the tires are very hot the brakes are very hot so you best to come in and just cool it down a little bit but yeah so very shortly I'll be jumping in the passenger seat with Oliver soberg whose dad Peta soberg was just a big rally hero of mine it's just incredible to meet him I'm so blessed in this job to kind of meet um such incredible drivers and just it's a privilege to be in the same car as them so let's head on back and then go out with Oliver and he can show me just how good this car is around there a feeling it's going to be quite cool okay so time for a passenger right now yeah I'll strap in I'm a good Passenger full send well that's the plan at least the torque is pretty good in then acceleration is good oh yeah your entance speeds quite a lot more than me well the tires will last for a lap yeah so we'll get some speed for a lap anyway good it's about this car's about weight management as much as anything isn't it yeah to keep the Rhythm More than than actually pushing it you know then wait wait wait wait boom and in the middle of it I already had half throttle yeah to turn the with the weight transfer so you get yeah I see you've got yeah I see what you mean you get all your weight all your braking done and then you're on it because it's if you're going to break into the Apex it doesn't work with the weight you see yeah oh he's outbreak himself come on that shows you that shows you working hard it means we're pushing there's no tires there now yeah those tires are absolutely crying for Mercy AR we oh oh my God that tire is going no get off the rim come on do you feel the sit down yeah yeah it's like when we were doing the braking test it's constantly pulling you in yeah it's pulling me still I can barely breathe oh yeah the tires they're like chewing gum they're absolutely gone the tires on the other car were pretty good actually AB strapped in this I know it's like I can't actually breathe can't bre so the safety safe belt pulling us back into the seat cuz it's obviously having a moment as a car it's like I can't breath anymore oh it's that that right front's absolutely shot I hurt myself this was the F car ride you do another lap to really it up yeah oh it's getting a bit of grass oh yeah I still can't breath the seat belts man bit rotation there you could do with the hydraulic handbrake in this that would really help now cuz the front You' got no grip of the front at all it feels very safe even though the straight lines I'm turning yeah well they they tell us to drive them so we exactly you're just following orders really exactly damn I mean if they give us cars to use we're going to destroy them know I I don't want the tire bill at the end of this event I can't breathe now that's disappear that tire right now it's vibrating now yeah oh yeah oh I think we have a puncture we look oh that tire is definitely disappeared it's gone that tire has completely disappeared we got a flat it's completely gone that front ride Put It On full Locke for me it's on full now well thank you what imagine I'll speak to you outside the car well that was fun wasn't it they've just taken the car away to cool down yeah yeah means we've done something right yeah it won't be being used again today until they put some new tires on it thank you so much for that absolutely what a legend what an amazing privilege to have you in the well in the co- driver seat giving me past notes and then show me how it's done well I wish we could take you in the in in something faster but at least I mean it's a good fun car it has some got and uh we destroy the tires and destroy the brakes that's the main goal good and we had a lot of laughs and we didn't crash it almost yeah Oliver you're alleged thank you so much man cheers oh well that was just absolutely Next Level anyway a short video I know but uh if you enjoyed that one please give me a thumbs up comments below are always welcome and if you haven't done so already please subscribe to
