I´m not a webdesigner, so you will just have to bare with my skills on this.. The plan was to get help from a friend who works with webdesign, but for now it seems like i have to settle with my own skills, and that aint much when it comes to webdesign, i will have to use what i have to get going, maybe a new site later on but i can´t wait forever to get the help i need.

I tried to get a new look for my site and i will keep on with some mods as i move on, still learning,, I will start posting pics of my build this week, sponsor logos will start popping up also,, thanks for your patience

This is the crazy project i started, in the end i hope to have a front wheel drive offroad racecar, It will be a little Honda beast..

This is what i started to build from and what i plan to take to the Mexican desert, sorry for the crappy quality on the pics, the  new pics will be better ,, and NO it will not look like this when it hits the dirt,,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New wesite is on it´s way, as soon as it´s up and running i will start posting pictures of the car. This website is missing a lot of information about previous adventures, and all photos isn´t there, but hang in there cause the new site is on it´s way..

Link from youtube,,

Hello everybody,,

Since 99,9 % of all viewers of my website probably knows the english language i will make it easy to post here,, i will only be posting in english. This is not because i think that i am an international star or something, just because it will make it viewable to all my friends, i hope i don´t suck at the spelling and that my American friends will accept the grammar..

Since my new website isn´t ready yet, i made the decision to update the old site until the new one is up and running. My current project is now official. I will be racing the Baja 1000 in november 2013. Behind this project is Honda Sweden as main sponsor. This whole project will be a huge challenge for me as i will do most of the fabrication on the car myself. I will try to update the site at least twice a week. Hopefully this will be fun to follow as it is almost 2 years to the actual race. I will also make it clear right now that this project is supposed to be a fun and different approach to the race, i will not make the impression that i´m building something that will eat competition, this car will have very limited wheel travel because of the engine/gearbox placement, it is also a very small car with a short wheelbase, this will make it slower in the whoops for sure. I still belive this will handle quite well in the mexican desert. I´m doing this because i would like to see if it possible with minor fabrication skills, to build something unique that can handle the terrain the Baja 1000 is throwing at you. I am going to need lots of support so feel free to contact me if you feel that you can contribute in some way. Check out the Taildragger tab to see more info about the car,,

Tack till alla sponsorer, utan er har det varit svårt att delta i denna tävling, stort tack,, också ett stort tack till mor o far för all hjälp,,

Thanks to all my sponsors, it would have been tough to participate in this event without your help, many thanks to all of you, and thanks to my mom and dad for all support,,

Saturday February 12th         Stockholm  – 14 °C

Start at “Gärdet”, Stockholm in lovely sunshine. The participants left for the longest part during the whole rally, almost 1000 km. It was easy at the beginning but between Uppsala and Gävle it became more difficult because the participants had to walk in deep snow to find the controls. Then followed a long part of transportation, about 400 km before they had to turn a bit west. They drove on narrow, snowy and winding roads through forests in the darkness just to find controls. It started even to snow so it was not that easy.
One of the controls was placed on a small mountain top. Just a few of the participants could reach it.
Many hours and lots of controls later the last car arrived at “Pite Havsbad” at 6 o´clock in the morning.
After the first day “Team Up and Under” from England and “Team Energi på Väg” from Sweden are sharing the first place.

Sunday February 13th            Piteå  – 28 °C

Start at ”Pite Havsbad” in lovely weather. Some of the participants just got a couple of hours sleep. The day started with some geochallenges just outside Piteå. They could not be reached by car because of too much snow. There were many people walking in snow for several hundreds of meters and even kilometers!
Then the race continued towards Pajala and before the end of the day some got stuck in the snow and some ran into a ditch. Fortunately nobody was hurt. One team has quit the rally because the vehicle was broken.

Monday February 14th            Pajala  – 32 °C

A cold clear morning in Pajala. Two cars were left in Pajala by start because of mechanical problems, probably caused by the cold! We think they will join us later today or tomorrow. Today´s stage was a lot of highway driving through a beautiful winter landscape in northern Finland and later Norway where you among other things could see the weather phenomena “Halo” which means three suns, a phenomena that happens when the sun shines through clouds consisted of ice crystals.
Some driving through forests with lots of snow for the bravest with a different result. Some cars got stuck in the snow and one car ran into a ditch again. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.

Tuesday February 15th            Alta  – 21 °C

Start from Alta. A couple of cars had to stay in Alta for maintenance. The main part of the stage today followed the coast of the Arctic Ocean. It was a long stage but beautiful. We’ve passed Karasjok today. Yesterday, they had -41 °C and the forecast for today sad – 38 °C but when we passed it was ”only” – 32 °C…One team has got problem with there rear axle and they were towed to a workshop. Hopefully, they will join us later in Finland. Two teams are still stuck in Pajala, so tomorrow only 7 teams will start from Kirkenes. After the todays stage, Team Energi På Väg from Sweden is in lead.

Wednesday February 16th            Kirkenes  – 20 °C

Start from Kirkenes. Only 7 teams on the start line. One team has quit the race due to engine problems. The participants went south towards Finland and drove through the wilderness where the only living beings seems to be the reindeers. In Kemijärvi, after a thrilling final due to a time limit, we met Team Rallyeladies again. They have been in Pajala and done some repairs on their car. We hope that Team Pattom will join us tonight after their mechanical problems in Alta. In that case, we will be 9 teams on the start line tomorrow.

Thursday February 17th            Kemijärvi  – 36 °C

This morning, some geochallenges were taken out of competition due to the extrem cold. The temperature was between -35 °C and -40 °C in some places we passed during the morning. A couple of cars had start problem but after a while they could continue. The todays stage went from Kemijärv towards Oulu to the coast. The participants passed the probably longest ice road in Gulf of Botnia, 8 km long on the sea to the island Hailuoto. A fantastic experience! The route continued towards Kajaani with tricky navigation on small roads in the forest.

Team Jeep Club Latvia have unfortunately decided to quit the race due to engine problems. Good news is that Team Pattom has fixed their rear axle in Alta and planning to join us in Stockholm on Sunday. After the todays stage Team Up and Under from England is in lead.

Friday February 18th            Kajaani  – 33 °C

Another cold and clear day. We have had sunny and clear weather since day one. Such a nice weather during so many days and such a distance we will probably never experience again. Unbelievable! Of course, the high pressure has pressed down the temperature to almost -40 °C sometimes, but despite that both people and cars have done it very well. Only one car has quit with mechanical problems due to the cold.

The todays stage went from Kajaani to Tampere. The teams drove on small snowy roads between thousand lakes who is caracteristic for this part of Finland. We have now left the wilderness and passing trough more populated areas, but the snow combinated with the beautiful weather still does it to a great experience. A transport stage was included in the middle. Tomorrow, the participants do the last stage in Finland before the ferry sail away to Stockholm.

Saturday February 19th            Tampere  – 21 °C

The last stage in Finland. Still cold and snowy but the temperature is going up. A few geochallenges before the ferry leavs towards Stockholm at 21:00 tonight.

Sunday February 20th            Stockholm  -8 °C

Finish in Stockholm! After a short stage in Stockholm, the participants crossed the finish line in a beautiful sunny weather after 5000km.

1st  place Team Up and Under                 Andy and Lorna Fewtrell                      England     Volvo XC70

2nd place Team Energi På Väg (TOK)      Tomas Sundquist and Peter Knutsson        Sweden     Chevrolet Colorado
