Henning Solberg to nwt.se: “In Norway and Sweden I will for sure drive with Eklund Motorsport again, these dates do not clash with the WRC. The idea for Höljes is to have four Solberg’s racing. Beside Petter and me my 16 years old son Oskar [JRX Cup?] and my stepson Pontus [Tidemand; in a VW Sweden backed car?] too. Pontus has his own team.”

Per Eklund (66) in an interview with nwt.se: “Henning Solberg rang me up last week. His car [the Saab 9.3 driven by US-based Swede Samuel Hübinette in the 2012 GRC and X Games] will be ready in time and will have, among all else that is needed, a new engine. I was not able to fix a bus for him, but he will take care about this himself.” After being questioned if he still has both Saab’s and what are his other plans for the 2013 season: “We will not be in Brazil for this is not possible due to economical reasons. The plan is to join Global X Games in Spain. If I would drive myself again depends on if we can raise some money. Last year there was none.”
