From press release

2014 rallycross world champion Petter Solberg was once again dominant, this week-end in Argentina.

The Norwegian beat Reinis Nitiss and Kevin Eriksson for the Supercar win in San Luis, his fifth outright victory of the year.

"This is a dream come true.  We started the season with a win in Portugal, and to finish with another win in Argentina feels really amazing," grinned Solberg who was also awarded the Monster Energy Super Charge Award after his rapid start from pole position.

"This Championship has so many talented drivers and I am extremely impressed with the high standard of driving we have had this year - especially from the younger guys.

"Now I'm looking forward to Doha for the FIA Awards Ceremony but I will be back and fighting for more seasons to come. I'd like to thank my whole team for working so hard throughout this year - there will be a big party tonight, that's for sure!"

Without Jacques Villeneuve, Albatec Racing managed to get two drivers in the semi-finals for the first time this season. Ollie O'Donovan and Andy Scott finished 4th and 6th in their respective race.
