Formula Off Road
World Cup
Hella July 14. 2006

Formula Off Road World Cup starts of close to the small town of Hella in the south part of Iceland. This is the first of two competitions in two days of the World Cup. The second day will also serve as the Icelandic Championship.

Competitors from five countries have entered. They come from Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and even one all the way from Turkey!

With the day starting out with wind and heavy rain it gets slightly better during the competition.

 

Fire Your Engines!

 

Gunnar Mar seems to take this literally! In the very first track transmission fluid leak catches fire and he has to stop and have the assistants turn it out. All the time he sits calmly in the 4x4. He is not able to continue the race for the rest of the day.

Roar Johansen in the Thunderbolt shows some excellent driving especially in the first track.

Siggi in the Troll did even better but was not among the top players.

Kjetil Håkonsen in Sandy catches second place in the Modified Street Class.

Finn Erik Loberg in RaceRunner shows more than Icelanders can compete in this sport. He comes in fourth in the Unlimited Class. Best result for the foreigners today.

Ole Graverse in the Eagle did ok for the first 3 tracks but has some problems in the 4th and the last for him for the day.

Arne Johannesen in Lightfoot shows some excellent stunts.

Olafur in The Fox is competing among the top players and finishes third in the Unlimited Class and forth Overall.

Gunnar in The Clown is the clear winner of the day. He gets first place in the Unlimited Class as well as the Overall.

Here he is in the last track - driving on the river full speed.

Leo in the Iron Maiden...

...has some problems with a blown tire in the first track.

Vural Ak in the 4x4.is Willys. He comes from Turkey and is driving a restored vehicle owned by Ragnar on the Pizza 67 Willys. He is one of the best off road drivers in Turkey and has competed in the Dakar rally. This is the first time he has set hands on a Formula Off Road vehicle.

Gunnar Asgeirsson in The Good Year Eagle.

Magnus in Willys '48 should have done a lot better. This is the only 6 cylinder engine but is tuned up to 600 hp plus nitro.

Morten Lovskogen in Gladiator.

Sturla in Smagrofuleigan.

Kristmundur in Timaur.

Bjarki in The Animal.

Gisli in The Steroid starts his season by giving it all he can. Rolling over in the end gate of the first track after this impressive flight demonstration.

Gudlaugur in Magic Yellow is only around 20 years old and a beginner in the sport.

Daniel in the Green Thunder.

Per Anders Nordstadt in T-Rex.
