In the past Ola has co-driven with a number of Norwegians and Swedes including Pontus Tidemand, Mads Østberg and Henning Solberg.

Fløene's co-driving career began in the 1980s, mainly entering into Norwegian events and occasional WRC and ERC rallies through the 1990s.

He gained a great deal of experience of international rallies in the new century, sitting with a number of drivers.

Fløene began co-driving with a then 17-years-old Mikkelsen in 2006 on various British events, winning 6 rallies outright that year including their debut outing together.

In 2016 it was announced he would become Mads Østberg's co-driver at M-Sport whilst Anders Jæger took over from Fløene at Volkswagen.
