Have you ever seen extreme Icelandic Racing?  No, well if you have you will definitely have seen trucks like our Icelandic Racer.  Iceland have held extreme off road racing on loose sand circuits for nearly 20 years. 

Many of the competitors race bespoke handmade custom trucks like this one, they are usually 4 wheel drive, very light weight, exceptionally agile, have large capacity big bhp engines, and many of the photos I sourced for reference showed most of them upside down or rolling down impossible slopes.

The balloon-like low pressure tyres are designed to hook into loose
surfaces with the large shovel-like shapes on the tyre tread.  It has
also been known that at high speeds these trucks can skim over the
surface of water!

Like the previously mentioned Andorra Racer this vehicle has been designed in-house specifically for SEGA Rally.  The paint scheme was heavily based on the Mongoose logo you can see in the livery, the orange and purple looks vivid enough to compliment the extreme look of the vehicle but at the same time it ties in nicely with the sponsor logos.
