Welcome to Dragets gravel and experience Formula offroad in reality.
 
Cars with paddle tires and engines, which in some is over 1000 HP that can be compared to a full sized truck at about 500 HP. Even the least motoring enthusiasts can be entertained by this and wonder at how crazy these drivers seem to be. The drivers completely lacks respect for the word gravity and challenge each other the paths that become more sophisticated as the day goes. Formula Offroad is a spectacular sports arena without equal.

Jason Grzesikowski

SMK Uppsala, is very pleased to announce that Jason Grzesikowski from the United States will host the Formula Offroads WebTV broadcast April 27 to 28 April. Jason has a background in rock crawling, snow moves and is part of the Monster Jam in the U.S.. As a large portion of our viewers from the United States despite the time difference so we therefore choose to let Jason reference in English of the TV coverage.

Formula Offroad has its origin in Iceland where their firefighting showed up in lava piles. Some thought that it might be possible to develop the car a little bit and they started to build their own cars. Pretty soon they put the big engines and paddle tires on these cars and they began to compet.

• Relita our main sponsor helps us in our environmental activities and more.
• Ballast lends competition area for us and help with marketing.
• Schenteknik makes sure that you can hear our speaker.
• Möller Bil ensures that up personnel and paramedics have reliable vehicles on the competition site.

I would also like to thank the partners and volunteers who make it possible for a non-profit club to organize a competition like this. Without them and most importantly without the crowds would this form of competition not be arranged. To give something back to our partners so I urge everyone to when contacting the companies that have been involved in the program or appeared in connection with this competition, so talk to them about the competition.
