Icelandic Toyo Tires Competiton
The first Formula Off Road Icelandic Championship 2010 is held at Kollafjordur. The location is right below the slopes of Esja, Reykjavik's city mountain. Starting the season with some serious testing for men and machines.
The trucks are transported with less spacious tires that have to be changed before the race. Other tasks include official checkup and filling up the fuel tanks etc.
Hafsteinn Thorvaldsson driving the Turf starts out pretty well.
A number of impressive attempts...
...and he gets 5th place.
Bjorn Bragi Saevarsson on the Tremor starts the first track with a blast.
The sharp right turn and the momentum...
...has it roll over.
Still Bjorn gets it back on its tires and show some great stunts.
Leo Vidar Bjornsson on the Iron Maiden is trying to use 44 inch Super Swamper tire instead of the paddle tires. His thinkning is that they are not as vulnerable in this type of gravel.
Perhaps not because of the tires Leo rolles his truck in the timed track after getting through the puddle.
Olafur Bragi Jonsson on the Fox.
Olafur Bragi ends in 4th place.
Gudlaugur Helgason (Gulli) driving the Magic Yellow successfully throught the endgate of the first track.
