Formula Offroad Extreme Action 2018 – Hella Iceland

Formula Offroad is simply crazy and the first round of the Icelandic tournament shows the action is getting more extreme by each year. This time the race took place in Hella on the southern region of Iceland. The competition is hard at the top and the drivers are not shy creating an amazing show for the crowd.

The six tracks each has their own set of challenges, the first three in the sandy creeks and then moving on to the timed track and then the river crossing – or should we say river skipping – and then finishing off crisscrossing the muddy swamp.

Þór Þormar also won the best of show by making a speed record  of 102 km/h hydroplaning the river as well as the best time in the river as well as the timed track.

Honorable mention goes to Atli Jamil driving the Thunderbolt who gave Þór Þormar a good competition until some problems in the river cost him too many points.

Magnús Sigurðsson on the Honda powered Kubbur also did some pretty cool stunts as you can see in the video.
