Rally Norway

Start and finish was held at Hamar, while the stages took the rally to Lillehammer, Sjusjøen, Kongsvinger and Elverum.

Throughout the first leg Daniel Carlsson was right behind Solberg, but went off the road at SS12 and had to retire the rally.

The young talents Mads Østberg and Anders Grøndal took the second and third place on the podium.

The candidate race was by FIA given the grade "B", which outstands several current WRC-rallies.

FIA decided 5 July 2006 in a meeting in Paris that Rally Norway was to achieve WRC-status.
