Together with his female co-driver Ilka Minor, he currently competes in the World Rally Championship (WRC) with cars of M-Sport.

He competed in seven rounds alongside Ford's main drivers Toni Gardemeister and Roman Kresta.

His best result came at the Cyprus Rally, where he beat team-mates Gardemeister and Kresta to the fourth place.

Solberg also appeared in an edition of the BBC show Top Gear, where he rallied a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in a downhill snow track in a race against the Norwegian bobsleigh team at Lillehammer.

The Lillehammer Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track is 1365 meters long with 16 turns and an 8.5% average grade and Solberg's route was equally challenging.

For 2007, Solberg was given a full-time drive with the Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team.

After a road accident ended his chances in Cyprus, he finished fifth in Portugal and took his career fourth podium place in Argentina, behind the Citroën duo Sébastien Loeb and Dani Sordo.

Henning Solberg competed for the privateer Go Fast Energy World Rally Team along with Matthew Wilson in the first half of the 2012 season.

The car sported a full white design without any sponsors, although they later put up "Can you watch this space?"
