Formula Off-Road 2007

FREE VIDEO: 4x4 Off Roads Buyers Guide
In this video series - the 4x4 Off Roads Buyers Guide you will discover how to select your 4x4, how to evaluate off roading trucks and SUVs and how to find them on eBay - and do it all with confidence!

Extreme off road motor sport at its best. Most powerful specially modified 4x4 vehicles given full throttle and nitro. Hundreds upon hundreds of horses under the hood.

You got to be interested in the extreme off road sport - officially called "Formula Off Road". To introduce this amazing sport I attend as many of these events as possible. Bringing to you reports with stunning pictures and true stories of the successes and failures in the track.

If you happen to be in Iceland this summer or Finland or Norway this autumn I can guarantee you will have a great time visiting some of the events.

Formula Off-Road News

	Off Road Hella 2 2007 The sixth round of the World Cup in Formula Off Road is also at Hella. The weather was pretty wild during the night and the wind is still blowing hard with plenty of dust and sand in the air. Probably a lot like a sandstorm in the Sahara desert!
	Off Road Hella 1 2007 The fourth and last round of the Icelandic Championship and the fifth round of the World Cup in Formula Off Road is at Hella in south Iceland. The competition starts as early as possible since the weather forecast looks ugly for the afternoon.
	Off Road Skien- Finns Win Double Fourth Round of the World Cup Championship took place in Skien in Norway on Sunday the 2. of September. Sixteen cars were entered in Unlimited class and ten in Modified Standard.
	Off Road Skien- The Clown Wins The Third round of the World Cup Championship in Formula OffRoad racing was driven in Skien, Norway on Saturday, the 1. of September. Twenty six competitors competed in the event, sixteen in Unlimited Class and ten in Modified Standard. Seven drivers came from Iceland.
	Video: Driver View - Formula Offroad Videos from the N1 Willys truck in the same track with two different drivers. They are shot with an onboard camcorder. The first makes it up by using full nitro injection and the second one is a little bit too shy on petal and takes a back roll.
	Off Road Blonduos 2007 The third Formula Off Road Icelandic Championship is at Blonduos in the north-west part of Iceland. The competition starts at early - at 11:00 sharp.
	Off Road Egilsstadir 2007 The second Formula Off Road Icelandic Championship is at Egilsstadir in the north-east part of Iceland. This is about as far from Reykjavik as you can go. Equally far going the north and the south route.
	Off Road Akureyri 2007 Like last year the first Formula Off Road competition is in Akureyri. Past days have been cold but just today summer has finally arrived. The event starts at 13:00 and I am a little late after driving all the way from Reykjavik in the morning.
