Rally Reykjavik combines the adventurous and exotic elements with the benefits and amicable atmosphere on top of the world in nearby Iceland. Our sparsely populated land is quite unbelievable for even the most seasoned of travelers, and so are the roads.
A visiting rally driver once stated Iceland was the rally driver's Heaven. Different, ever changing road surfaces make sure you keep your wits about you. On the long sinuous stages, be it a special stage or regularity section, you may well experence the feeling this is a lonely planet.
The event is run out of Reykjavik, which is Iceland's capital. It is a modern Western European city offering up-to-date facilities, communications and infrastructure for travellers and businessmen all year round.
The country catches the imagination with its modern technological society set in an environment which has deep roots in agricultural and fishing traditions, in old Nordic folklore and in the educational customs of past generations. Clean air, fine restaurants and the many warm swimming pools in Reykjavik make a refresh-ing change from the usual. Musical, theatrical and evening entertainment and nightlife is legendary.
Just outside the city limits the interior of Iceland lures the motoring enthusiast with glacier trips in special 4x4's, snowmobiles, drive snowscooters or just go and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
Iceland is an island full of surprises with the opportunity to see things you have never dreamed of, to see a land of striking contrasts where the elements of ice and fire are omnipresent. Here you find the original Geysir and other hot springs, the expanse of Europe's largest glacier and volcanoes. The uninhabited interior is the largest area in Europe untouched by human hands, incessantly sculpted by the rough and delicate hands of Mother Nature. Ice and fire are two obvious forces changing the face of Iceland while wind and rain erode young rock into tortuous transient formations.
In Iceland you will find a unique world of natural wonders beginning almost on Reykjavik's doorstep with breathtaking natural phenomena - waterfalls, hot springs, lava fields, glaciers and bizarre rock formations with still more changes of scenery on hand for those venturing further afield.
