W2c Norwegian rally 2007

This weekend a whole nation is watching the Norwegian brothers Petter and Henning Solberg driving in snowy weather during rally Norway 2007. I usually post this is the racing section (not updated in a while) but this is a post I want to share with as many as possible. Petter already world champion in 2003 is in family battle to beat Henning. Both down to earth Norwegians give the sport a greater face. Petter started his rally-driving career on the fields of his parents' farm near Oslo when he was eight years old. His parents were both keen rallycross drivers, and, together with his older brother Henning, Petter inherited their enthusiasm for cars. As an 11-year-old Petter helped his parents build and maintain their autocross cars. Too young to compete himself, he raced radio-controlled cars and became Norwegian Champion at the age of 13. Its show and fun all the way and even the weather in RN 2007 is doing it best to make it a great challenge. You can follow the race live on the web here and read updates here.
