The text is in norwegian, so here's a summary:

In the season finale of Top Gear they are arranging a nice challenge. Henning Solberg (Peugeot driver, the older brother of Petter Solberg) will race down the hill under(?) the olympic bob sledge track in Lillehammer, Norway. Who is he racing? The norwegian national bob sledge team, of course! They shot it this weekend, and are of course keeping the result a secret until they air it in december...

I wonder how the conditions were for the car. Looking forward to seeing this.

lol, looking forward to seeing the race.

lol, I'm not looking forward to it coz it's gonna be the last episode :D

Is he racing in a peugeot rally car?

It isn't mentioned in the article. He is negotiating with Ford to drive for them parts of next season, so I don't know if he still has contact with Peugeot.

Henning has the hillclimb record there, that's why they chose him. He might have his own car for hillclimbing. One point is that I think the record was set a while ago. On his CV, hillclimb isn't mentioned after 1994, when he was both norwegian and nordic champion.

Thanks Gnome for the info, can't wait!

Henning drove his group-n rally evo V. Nrk aired 2 minutes of footage on 'frokost-tv' (morning-tv, literally 'breakfast-tv'). Looked good, henning was making some good speed down that road. They didn't say who won though :)

looks good, but bob team must win

Sounds interesting, I'll have to get a hold of a rip somehow.

They changed the schedule. It was in this weeks episode of Top Gear, and what an episode it was!! This car vs bobsleigh was great to see, certainly the look on both faces of the TG presenters and their oral reactions :D

LOL.... May in the Evo was pretty funny.... i think he was so scared that he must have though sod the cameras, lol

And little Hammond.... when the sound dropped i thought he might have blacked-out or something :lol:

Hehe, idd, Hamster probably had a black-out when suddenly his stopped talking :P

At some point James face looked as if he had wet his pants :lol:
