Iceland Hill Rally

17/08/2026

Your opinion matters. Sadly we had to cancel this year's Iceland Hill Rally but the 2027 route is being planned now.
But we have a dilemma, do we stay at 2nd weekend in August (traditionally our date) or move early September. Other dates in August are taken with festivals and other sporting events. September allows more time for roads to be open after winter and route safety/roadbook production.
So what is best for you: 2nd weekend in August or 1st weekend in September.
Let us know, takk.

Upplifun
Ertu forvitinn um hvernig akstursíþrótt sveitarally (hill rally) er?
Viltu prófa, en vilt ekki skuldbinda þig til fullrar keppni?
Eigir þú buggy bifreið, af hvaða gerð sem er, þá getur þú skráð þig í þessa einstöku upplifun.
Upplifunin fer fram í skógræktinni í Haukadal (Geysi) og verður notast við flestar sömu leiðirnar og eru í Haustsveitarally 2026.
Þetta er ekki keppni eða rall, heldur færðu að upplifa sömu brautirnar, en ávallt innan ákveðins hámarkshraða til samræmis við umferðarlög. Fylgst er með bifreiðinni eins og um keppnisbifreið væri að ræða, þar sem meðal annars sést hvort ekið er hraðar en leyft er.
Örugg og stýrð upplifun af því hvernig það gæti verið að keppa í svokölluðu sveitarally.
Gjald er aðeins 12.500 kr.
Farðu á www.hillrally.is/experience þar sem er að finna nánari upplýsingar og skráningarform.

Nánar þá er þetta á: https://mot.akis.is/keppni/589
Það verður meira að gerast þegar keppnin er, sem greint verður frá síðar.

Another chance to play?

Like "Life's cycle" one dies another is born.
Like us many of you are missing the fun and buzz of cross country rallying. The blast of air and the refresh of glacial water!
Well the 3 day hill rally may not be running but Tryggvi and I have a one day rally planned for Saturday September 5th.
This is in one confined area we have only used 2 tracks in. This new event will have over 80K of fun stages.
So keep that 4x4 ready. Entry via the AKIS system will open next week. But please let Tryggvi and Ian know that you plan to enter.
This is an event for you to have fun with your SxS or Jeepa - safely with support.

Motorsport - the hidden drama.

When I was 14, I was sent to Outward Bound School (like Boot Camp) for three weeks. Came back super fit and living a motto. “To serve, To strive, Not to yield.” It's been my approach to life ever since.

Wednesday night pushed the outer limits of that. After a long day of 00 and 000 car duties and just a sandwich, I set off to clear all the stages. Well 2 and the inflatable arch.
Drive round 20k with trailer, pull out stakes, separate signs, simple.
Started about 23:00 got home 09:20!
Black sand dunes, base fine firm, then over crest into a small mountain left by 30 buggies. Discovery went straight in, setting off extended height mode.
4 to 5 hours later I had moved the small hill either side of the car so I could get near the car. Lifted each wheel then dug out under all 4 wheels to put in a bed of rock plus exit ramp of rock. Then dug out under the car so I could see air.
Drive out no bother.
Had to repeat a dig out 2 more times simple, but not the last time. Just 100m from finishing. Again over crest and into another 30 buggy sand mountain. I dug out, either side, then dug under some very big stones so they rolled into the hole, but the last one by the rear axle I could not move. I was just knackered.
So I messaged a friend. There are superheroes and just fantastic friends, Dassi is both.
Thank you, a simple pull, but thank you

The summer Iceland Buggy rally was ran on Wednesday, just 10 entries but a success in many ways. I managed to take some video clips from inside SS4 and 6 and also the last round at the bike course. I have put the clips into one video and uploaded to YouTube link below. I can also separate each competitor's 3 clips and post directly to you - contribution welcome.

3 separate location shots of the buggy rally, all vehicles included.

To say I am puzzled is mild. The Iceland Hillrally over the last few years has created a hunger for more events.
Well Tryggvi and I have answered that request. 2 dates have already been postponed due to a lack of interest.
We have an event ready on Saturday, 16th May but only 2 entries paid. We will run it with 5.

So looking for another 3, or perhaps those that have registered just pay so you class as an entry.

Why ask us to host the events if you don't enter?
This is what you are missing, 1 day's racing for 60 00isk with almost 100k over 9 stages. They are fast flowing fun stages NO WATER (unless it rains).
