Formula Off Road
Icelandic Championship
Mosfellsbaer June 24. 2006

Formula Off Road Vesturland was held in Mosfellsbaer just north out Reykjavik. Like the last event in Akureyri the sky is clear and the sun is shining. The event is held in a rock mine.

The competition is organized by Formula Off Road Club, LÍA and Ferdaklubburinn 4x4.

 

Start Your Engines

Daniel gives us a thundering start on his Green Thunder. The first track is very difficult with much sideways slope.

Second up is Gunni on The Clown. He is not able to get any further.

Olafur on The Fox is having problems - similar to what happened in Akureyri. He is not able to get out of the starting gate - perhaps due to transmission problems.

Snorri is driving his brothers truck for the day.

Siggi on The Troll paddles on a good part of the track.

Leo on the Iron Maiden didn't even start a single track in Akureyri - is able to do much better today. Here he is on the last stretch of the first track. One of the judges is in the foreground staying clear of the earth and gravel attack.

The Animal is used by two competitors today - Bjarki and Siggi Reynis. All this blue smoke indicates some engine problems.

Ragnar on Pizza 67 Willys is preparing for the first track. His assistant is putting the on board camcorder in recording mode (see below for some clips).

Street legal class has two competitors. Steingrimur and Pall are both driving a blue Jeep on 38 inch Mudders. The tracks are laid in a different way to minimize the risk of rolling over and damaging the 4x4s.

 

Dressed up as a clown and serving as a sidekick and a shovel guy for gate posts is the punishment this soon to be wed has to endure. He received great applause from the onlookers.

With the help of the staff The Fox is quickly rolled back on its wheels.

Obviously the roll cages come in good use! With all the safety measures no one has been seriously injured.
