"It's been hard work, I think all the teams have been absolutely flat out between the races to improve and develop and I think maybe the biggest development I had this year was before this race, maybe forty per cent of the car for next year and I have been trying different things throughout the whole race."

It's Solberg's fifth victory of the year.

Olsbergs MSE claimed the team title.
