For the second successive season, teenage Swedish sensation Oliver Solberg (18) and his Tyrone co-driver Aaron Johnston have won Rally Liepāja, the second round of the European Rally Championship. Onboard their Pirelli shod Volkswagen Polo GTi, they led all through to finish the ten-stage gravel event with a 20.1 second winning margin over the Citroen C3 R5 of Swedish crew Mads Ostberg/Torstein Eriksen.
