Coming up is the 3rd round of the WRC - the all new Rally Norway. Since this is the debut of Rally Norway, there are no stats to post. So I decided to put some interesting tidbits together. Enjoy!
This is the 22nd running of Rally Norway and last year's winner was Henning Solberg in a Peugeot 307 WRC.

Did You Know? Even though Petter Solberg is the first Norweigian to score a rally win, podium, and championship, the first man from Norway to score a WRC point was John Haugland in 1979 (9th place - Sweden).
One to Watch: Thomas Schie (NOR) - 2 time defending national champion makes his 7th WRC start. He debuted at 2002 Swedish Rally (retired) and scored his best result of his career last weekend in the 2006 Swedish Rally (14th). Now he is on home soil, and has shown skill on his native land. With a flawless drive he could be in position to steal away a point from some of the big boys.
