World Rally Championship is a big event that marks the dominance of a car manufacturer who wins the title. Huge crowds packed the Norwegian countryside north of Oslo to celebrate their country’s first appearance in the WRC and the biggest sporting event in Norway since the 1994 Winter Olympics. The motorists had to face deep snow, ice, fog and rain during the 18 speed tests covering 355.99km.
This was a challenging track with narrow roads and adverse weather conditions and the tests in this rally were all new for the drivers. Focus RS cars completed a clean sweep of the podium places as Henning Solberg and Cato Menkerud, driving for the Stobart VK M-Sport Ford team, finished third to match their career-best result.
It was for the first time that ford has won this title in last 26 years with all three podium places.

Here are some tips on how you can buy a have a quality used car, so as you would not be replacing unnecessary parts along the way...Hope, this might help...
Tips & Warning
• As a final precaution, take the car to a mechanic, who should charge a reasonable fee to check over a used car. The seller should agree to this, but may require that you leave a deposit. If the seller won’t let you take the car, offer to meet him or her at a mutually convenient garage.
• If you give the seller a deposit in order to take the car to have it checked, make sure to write out an agreement stating that the deposit will be returned immediately if you decide not to buy the car.
If the vehicle’s mileage appears unusually low, have a mechanic determine whether someone has tampered with the odometer. If so, the seller must refund any money you have paid and may be liable for punitive damages under federal and state odometer laws…
