The best place to get started is FOFF (http://www.foff.nu) then links like Alf Racing, Fast Foot Racing, Mäki Off Road Racing and....well hell check them all :D :D

And the best Icelandic Formula Off Road page is:
www.4x4.is

Happy "smuffing" times :D :D

Are those chat piles? We have piles of mining spoil like that couple of hundered feet high. Some piles have over a million tons in them.

Uummmmm....my english ain't too good, so what's chat? I think the area where they drive is some sort limestone quarry. I think I've read or heard something like that.

Jare

Don't you guys ever give up? :D

The Icelandic fellow in the picture Gisli he is GOOOOOD!!!! I've seen some videos and he is always in the top drivers and he really pushes his car hard.

But for that "ever giving up" think check out this video clip of Hasse Mäki (half Swedish half Finn and one of the best drivers in Scandinavia) in Gotland. His Jeep with AMC 401 sounds healthy with NOS and car runs even upside down....don't believe? Check out the video :D :D
Last year I managed to get to ride in Hasses Jeep and WOW that sure was one of those moments that you'll remember all your life;)

Here's the clip:

that is fawkin awsome. :smokin: Looks like fun :D
Just curious, on video clip 1 on the site, was the guy ok? after he rolled all those time.

I love those Scandinavian Formula guys!

Ramsteins rig, Grape Nuts, looks a lot like those rigs, he just needs some NOS and he could probably Get it with the best of them!

I wanna see a pic of that machine, so where can I find one??

TO NJC:
I don't know...maybe not. In Formula Off Road you need to have arm straps, neck support, light helmet, fire proof racing clothes, bucket seats, at least 4 point harnes and some drivers even use back support. I remember reading from somewhere that the cars steering got some hit after the last jump.

Maki is my favorite driver! Go to his site for some great vids and pics!

I've been into this stuff for a couple years now and just wish it would get started here in the US. Rockcrawling seems so boring to me after watching these guys!

thats awesome looks like its a rc car they way is flying around.

cool!!!

Nice! :smokin:

pretty cool:trooper: but i dont think i am ready for that i will stick to the rocks and:beer: :blender:

They are also amphibious as long as they got NOS.
