Ever since Mexico made its WRC [World Rally Championship] debut in 2004, each manufacturer has developed engine settings to minimize power loss in this unique event.... Last November, before its competitive debut, Volkswagen was free of the WRC restrictions that prohibit testing outside Europe and was able to run the Polo R in Mexico. As well as this on-stage testing, the manufacturer also completed trials in its climate and altitude chamber in Germany to accurately simulate the challenge ahead. 1, record 3, English, - climate%20and%20altitude%20chamber

The WRC is the largest effort in the world of men working to end men's violence against women. It relies on volunteer support and financial contributions from individuals and organizations. In 1991, a handful of men in Canada decided we had a responsibility to urge men to speak out against violence against women. We decided that wearing a white ribbon would be a symbol of men's opposition to men's violence against women. 1, record 5, English, - White%20Ribbon%20Campaign
