Course 1 on Sunday’s race, NEZ 6 2012 in Akureyri, looked quite promising. The course went around a little hill and then up to the top of it. I climbed up the hill directly opposite it until I got a bit of the city, the fjord and the mountains behind as a background for any flights. And it paid off. Here are some pictures from Martin Michelsens driving.
The view was beautiful, but doubtful whether Martin enjoyed it!
Some people consider that Martin is on his way home to Norway here 🙂
Want to get out?
It was impossible to bring up the machines to the top of the hill so the rescue were handled by human muscle power.

Now it’s just to drive on.
I can tell my story as the driver. We were lined up on the other side of the hill as we were waiting for our turn to concure the hill. Insane was one of the last cars and My son, Bjørn came over to me and told me that nobody made a full score. Everybody drew over the marker to the right on the very top as it was too steap to go right up. That had caused a track going from left to the right, crossing the ment to be driving line. I came to Iceland to have fun, not to drive safely and get 330 out of 350 points. So when it was my turn, I hit it at full throttle, trying to run over the tracks in the sand. But the tracks made the car bounce and it took off. The landing was hard and I had a headacke lasting untill lunch. But it was worth every flying inch:)!
