2019 Super Lap Battle Breakdown

The 2019 Super Lap Battle at Circuit of the Americas is now in the books, and it was a great event for DSX Motorsports.

Going to a new track for the first time usually comes with a bit of a learning curve, and starting out on Saturday, the main goal was just to become familiar with the track enough to start working on improving lap rimes. In addition to learning the track, there were a few new set-ups that we were testing, not the least of which was the NineLives Racing Rear Wing that we're developing.

17-Year-Old Oliver Solberg Signs with Subaru for 2019 American Rally Association Season

Oliver Solberg, son of 2003 World Champion Petter Solberg, has just signed with Subaru America for the 2019 American Rally Association championship season. Solberg is set to race with co-driver Aaron Johnston.

Solberg won the 2018 RallyX Nordic Supercar class, and is the youngest driver to ever compete in a World Rallycross Supercar. Solberg and Johnston will be competing in six U.S. events this year: 100 Acre Wood, Olympus Rally, Idaho Rally, New England Forest Rally, Susquehannock Trail, and the Lake Superior Performance Rally. 5-time National Rally Champion Travis Pastrana will also be returning for a few select events alongside co-driver Robbie Durant this year.
