Strong support “It is important for me as Prime Minister to facilitate this country’s ability to host major sporting events. After experiencing the celebration and enthusiasm which characterises the local community, we see that WRC is the right medium for growth and optimism.” Prime Minister of Norway Mr Jens Stoltenberg “Rally Norway has shown that two counties and 15 different local authorities in this region can co-operate very closely and successfully towards the same project, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with Rally Norway now as hosts for a future WRC round.” Hedmark County Council’s Chairman Mr Reidar Åsgård “I have dreamt of competing in the World Rally Championship in Norway since I started driving in the WRC and it’s been a joy to play a part in Rally Norway in 2006. I don’t have the words to describe how fantastic the rally roads are here. The organisation and teamwork inside Rally Norway is unique as we all work towards the same goal: bringing WRC to Norway. I’m looking forward to returning next year as a competitor.” Subaru World Rally Team’s #1 driver Mr Petter Solberg |
