Watch a Lunatic Norwegian Formula Off Road Racer Run Full Tilt With the Hood Flipped Up! This Guy is Crazy!


Watch a Lunatic Norwegian Formula Off Road Racer Run Full Tilt With the Hood Flipped Up! This Guy is Crazy!

The men who race in the crazy Norwegian Formula Off Road series are a breed apart. Piloting trucks that are hybrids of mud boggers, sand rails, rock buggies, and dragsters, these paddle tired world beaters can climb near vertical slopes, skip across the surface of water, and throw pea gravel into the upper reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere. Apparently, all of this happens whether the driver can see a damned thing or not.

As you will see in this video, driver Martin Michaelsen is attacked in the course in his truck when the hood, which obviously was not pinned down, launches up and completely blocks his view. Whoops, end of lap…right? Wrong. By using the force, braille, prayer, and a right foot made of lead, Michaelson continues to haul the mail over hill and dale with the hood occasionally closing, but not for long. At one point it appears a hinge breaks, allowing the thing to cock sideways and thereby creating a mail slot for him to see through. We don’t think he set the lap record time on this run but he sure set the lap record for balls!

Press play below to see Martin Michaelsen never say die at a Norwegian Formula Off Road Race!
