Solberg calls out Top Gear's The Stig for RallyX challenge

Reigning World Rallycross champion Petter Solberg has a message for BBC Top Gear's The Stig

Reigning World Rallycross champion Petter Solberg has laid down a challenge to the world's most famous anonymous driver - BBC Top Gear's The Stig.

Top Gear presenter James May ꦚcompeted in a specially staged World RX round aꦕt Lydden Hill but 'Captain Slow' proved easy competition for Petter Solberg and company.

After comfortably def🐟eating May and chalking up a sixth win at the wheel of his PSRX Supercar, Solberg threw out a challenge to another Top Gear star.

"I have to be honest, it's not easy to get into one of these cars and drive it with 600bhp," Solberg sai🌼d. "I didn't see much of James on the track, but you have to give him credit for coming and having a go. Maybe he should come and have a go at the first round of the 2015 series in Portugal.

"Or if he can't make it, why not send the man🥀 without any sponsors? You know, the man in 🅠the white suit..."

Next month Solberg will start the defence of his world title in Portugal for the opening round⛎ of the Worl𓄧d Rallycross championship.
