Formula Off Road?

[Nod]

Anyone know exactly where and when this happens? I've found their site ( http://www.formulaoffroad.info/NEZ_Formula_Off_Road/Formula_Off_Road.html ) but while that has last year's results and this year's regulations, I can't find a list of events! I've seen it on the haunted fishtank and rather fancy seeing it in the flesh (and, more to the point, hearing it!). Looks absolutely mental.

Its in the regulations:

The 2015 NEZ Formula Offroad Championship will be held as one single event over a weekend.

Place: Bålsta, Sweden
Date: August, Friday 28th to Sunday 30th

There are loads of other events through the year (or have been in past years) with some happening in Iceland. (Or at least it would appear so looking at past years' results of more than a single event.) Of course it's possible that the H&S brigade (or the NEZ equivalent) have put the mockers on such a lunatic spectacle but I reckon it would still happen even without FIA backing - just need to find out where. Might have to fire off an e-mail to one of the addresses on that site.

Most of what I used to watch was all in Iceland.

But where? As you know, it's not a small island!!! And when? From what I've seen of the events (all on TV), it looks like summertime (no snow on the ground).

Cheers for that, shapeshifter - link added to my favourites. Unlikely to make it over this year but we're hoping to do another Iceland trip next year, possibly in early May (that Hella meeting looks a possible candidate for a visit if it's an annual event!) Also got the Icelandic FIA affiliated site so I can keep an eye on future events.
