They're working for the Safari Rally to return to the WRC, and I really hope they can make it happen. There's nothing really like it.

Well, seems like I have to go to New Zealand! Wellington (capital) and Auckland (>100k) both furthest away from Oslo.
Got a mint condition brochure for my car! Not bad considering it's 45 years old! Not mine pictured, but same year.
Red Bull might have the most recognizable liveries, the Audi S1 of Mattias Ekström comes to mind
