How it started
Formula Offroad is a sport that was invented in Iceland. In hope to bring in
more money for the Icelandic rescue teams, the teams started to show their 4 wd
cars in action in the Icelandic hills. It soon became more and more of a
competition between the teams, and soon the teams where building specialy made
vehicles for just this purpose. The motorsport Formula Offroad was born.

introduktion
In 1990 the Icelandic drivers came to sweden to show their sport. Many Swedish
offroaders found Formula Offroad to be most interesting, and they started to
build their own cars. Since then there has been annualy Formula Offroad
competitions in Sweden.
Classes
In Sweden, Norway and Denmark there is two different classes. Modified and
Unlimited. In Modified, the cars could have paddletires and must have a body from a
serial manufactured car. In that class they are alowed to use NO2. In the
class Unlimited, the drivers can build their cars nearly anyway they want it. They
use wide tires with buckets on, to get a nice grip in the hills. The engine can
be built in many different ways, and many use NO2 for a extra boost of power.
