Unlike more serious off road events a car trial can be entered in an ordinary road car and is designed to be non-damaging although your pride and joy might get a little muddy.
You car has to be 2 wheel drive so you won’t be competing against land rovers !
The aim of the event is to drive up hills subdivided with numbered markers from 12 to 1 – the further you get up the hill the lower your score. The person with the lowest score at the end of the day is the winner. More a test of skill than speed, trials are an ideal low cost introduction to off road motorsport.
Entry fees are around £10 and no special equipment is required.
