-As FIA members we want to show responsibility in a difficult economic situation for international motor sport. We believe in Rally Norway, and we belive in the future of the WRC with the new regulations coming from 2010. Our aim is to develop the rally to be even better than in 2007, and to keep the event in WRC for a long term, says NAF deputy president Odd Samuelsen and member of the board in KNA Arild Hansen.
"We are very pleased to have the two FIA clubs KNA and NAF as partners. Now we have the very best backing from the major organisations in motor sport and mobility in Norway as partners, says chairman of RVI, Erik T. Veiby.
