Wild Videos: The High Flying Antics Of Icelandic Formula Off Road Racers – Big Power and Big Air!


Wild Videos: The High Flying Antics Of Icelandic Formula Off Road Racers – Big Power and Big Air!

Every time I watch or post video from Icelandic Formula Off Road events, I lament the fact that I’ve never seen one of these gatherings in person yet. I added the yet because I am going to get there one of these years. You all know the drill. These are tube frame machines that pack big blocks on nitrous mostly although turbocharged mills seem to be showing up as one piece of footage highlights a truck with a Tom Nelson built 1600hp engine.

I have a vision of a cool event that would pit these guys and their trucks against the Norwegian guys who compete in similar circumstances, and the dudes from down south here in American in their wild buggies against one another for fame and riches. Most likely it would be them competing against one another for fun and beer, but you get the idea. As much as this type of stuff is about having the sack to lay the throttle flat on the floor while climbing up a near vertical slope, there’s also a bunch of skill on negotiating some of the horizontal stuff. Remember, these guys are following a course with gates that they need to drive through. Missing the gates costs time so there is an element of speed as well as survival at play here.

Enough of my jibbah-jabbah, watch the videos below, which were ironically made by a Norwegian dude visiting Iceland. We want one of these trucks and the courage to drive it like these guys do!

    I have much respect for the off road racers. they are experts and know what they are doing. I would be scared to hell if i saw a live event. am comfortable watching it second hand for now.
