Formula Off Road 2008

 

Formula Off Road

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.

This weekend the town of Buzau, a small mountain settlement in Romania was home to the one of the last major off road contests for this year. As most of the competitions here, this one emphasized very strongly on navigation skills of the copilot, pilot’s driving skills as well as a good relationship between the two members.
