Hekla

Haukur began his long career in Formula Off Road around 1991 when the legend Árni Kópsson was competing but when he quit racing his attention went towards the other legends like Gísli G. Jónsson and Haraldur Pétursson. It was Haukur’s life long dream to compete in Formula Off Road so in 2014 he bought his first car which belonged to Gísli Grétar Sigurðsson and was called Komastsu. Haukur competed on that car in 2014 but a year later he purchased another one that was built in 2013.

The Car:

Haukar bought Taz in 2014 but before it was in his possession it belonged to a man called Benedikt Helgi Sigfússon and was it named Hlunkurinn [The Lump]. Benedikt built the car in the winter of 2012-13 but ended in Haukur’s hands in the fall of 2014. The things that have changed since his purchase is the engine, transmission, transfer-case, rear axle and more.

Today he drives a car that is his own build. Hekla is the name of that car. Haukur among his girlfriend, Anna Kristín Guðnadóttir, a former Icelandic champion Sigurður Þór Jónsson, master of welding Guðni Jónsson, Sigurjón Haraldsson and Hákon Vignir Smárason, were the ones to build this mean machine we see Haukur drive today. The car was build with the car THOR as a model but with Team #16’s brilliant touch to make it as mean as it is today.
