The sixth round of the World Cup in Formula Off Road is also at Hella. The weather was pretty wild during the night...
...and the wind is still blowing hard with plenty of dust and sand in the air. Probably a lot like a sandstorm in the Sahara desert!
A total of 6 tracks that will be driven in each class. The first are up and down some steep sandbanks followed by two timed courses with the river as one of them. The last track is the famous mud track that everybody is waiting for!
Hans Mäki driving Insane down the first sandbank...
...and in the mud.
Although stranded in the mud, Hans seems to be happy at the end of the day.
Vignir Vignisson in the 1N Willys is experiencing some mechanical problems with the newly rebuilt truck and is unable to finish many tracks.
Sverrir Bergsson is also driving the 1N Willys. This is the first time he competes in Formula Off Road.
Erlingur Klemenzson driving the Raven.
Erlingur does well in the first three tracks, but has some problems after that.
Geir Haug driving Trollet.
Geir starts out rather poorly in the first tracks. However, in the mud, he is one of four that are able to finish the track successfully.
Leo V. Björnsson in the IronMaiden.
Leo is the fourth fastest in the river track.
Gunnar Gunnarsson in the Clown. Gunnar starts well but has some problems and ends up in 5th place in the Unlimited Class.
Ólafur B. Jónsson driving the Fox. Ólafur is able to finish most tracks but is drawn down by a number of faults.
Ólafur is the fastest in the first timed track and third in the river but gets stuck in the mud and ends up fourth in the Unlimited Class.
Ingvar A. Arason driving the N1 Willys. Ingar drives well and is the winner in the Modified Street Class.
Daniel G. Ingimundarson driving the Green Thunder. Daniel starts ok, but is having mechanical difficulties in the last few tracks.
Daniel giving the Green Thunder a beating in the mud.
The problems could come from the fact that Daniel is lending the Green Thunder to Ásgeir Jamil who gets a similar pattern in his points.
Benedikt Eiríksson driving Ha. Benedikt does well in the first track and then ok in the next few.
Benedikt gets through the whole mud track and receives the second place.
Finn Erik Løberg driving RaceRunner in the Unlimited Class. Finn Eric show some great stunts and gets the best time in the river.
Even though he gets stuck in the mud he secures his victory for the day - as well as the season.
Eyjólfur Skúlason driving the Leopard.
Sigurður Þ. Jónsson driving the Troll.
Gulli Helga driving Magic Yellow.
Sofia Schollin-Borg driving Affe through the mud.
Finn Erik Løberg winner in the Unlimited Class having fun in the mud.

Ingvar A. Arason winner in the Modified Street Class having fun on the river.
Getting third place is enough for Sofia Schollin-Borg to secure her World Cup title in the Modified Street Class.
