Formula Offroad
Just wondering how many of you have heard of it. I LOVE it. And we think our mudding and crawling is cool.

Quote from Wikipedia for those of you that dont know about it.

Quote:
Formula off-road is a high powered version of off-road competition. Vehicles are highly modified,, or specially built, using sand drag tires, long travel suspension components that allow jumps and rough handling and long axle articulation, and a secure roll cage for the driver. Formula off-road cars often use highly tuned V8's with superchargers or nitrous oxide injection systems. Formula off-road originated in Iceland in the 1980s and has since spread to the other Nordic countries. Competitions are often held in sand and gravel quarries where courses are laid out and often include going up near–vertical slopes. The vehicles utilize paddle-like treads on the tires.

Some good car control there when he was traversing those hills. Looks like that would be much more fun than just trying to go up and over.
