One of the best colour schemes for the GT40

Most of the cars which we now term as classic vehicles that you see on these events have been taking part for many years, from when they were just cheap cars to buy and have fun with. Some people buy an old car to fix up and look at, others buy an old car fix it up , then have a lot of fun with it. Not many things beat the smell of mud on a hot exhaust pipe.

Nothing to stop you entering on one...there's a class for step-throughs. See you next year!

Still the same for people today. With an eclectic mix of cars and bikes , something for everyone !

The X90 was available as a RWD variant (together with its big brother with 4WD). There is a specific x90 class just to cater for these. So they are only competing against themselves.

@@Clubmotorsportuk Ahhhh that's interesting, I didn't know that 👍 It's a FANTASTIC rally to watch with the incredible variety of vehicles.

It was great being able to talk to him down by the start line. Can’t wait to see their footage.

Bikes started going through at 4.20 am making filming at bit tricky. We have footage of some of the later bikes coming out on an extended video.

@@Clubmotorsportuk Thanks. I’ll look forward to that. Les

An extended version will follow

Sorry for late reply, the car is very light Vw based rear engined special driven by a very good driver. I believe the number of passengers is limited by the number of seats in the car. So for a sports car you could have two people in in whilst in a saloon 4 comfortably, but that gives you the problem of carrying more weight up the “hills”

Je parle François comme une vache espagnol. Peut-être vous pourriez être le premier .Vous disposez d’un grand nombre de piste gravier et grand quantité de forêts. En france vous avez Montée Arette pour motos aussi le Tout Terrain pour les voitures n’est-ce pas.

Merci beaucoup

It’s a very challenging sport, that can take a while to master.

No , this is a bonafide sport. It takes place all over the uk. Whether using Production cars/kit cars/buggies as in the video,the Sporting Trials’s cars, as shown in other videos on the channel or All wheel drive vehicles. The idea of the events are the same , ie to get as far as you can on a determined selection of “Hills” Why would you take a car up a muddy track? , because you can, it’s fun and relatively inexpensive for a competition motorsport.

Lots of heavy duty clutches fitted!! Lots of tyre smoke due to no limited slip differentials allowed.

Thanks!

Yes a nice tidy early, 5 stud Beetle getting used. Much better than sitting in a museum!

​@@Clubmotorsportukyear? I've got a 58 rally style😊

⁠@@campervanbug7658The Beetle in the video was registered in January 1959

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Playing around with different cameras with mixed results…

Much modified, so not an Imp as you know it.

It really can be a team effort sometimes.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Two cars in the more specialised class 8 , for buggies and cars built to limited numbers. A green and red front engined Rwd car (car 63) and a rear engined Rwd car (car 79) were the only two to get to the top. A couple others got close too.

Your making great quality trials videos. Really enjoying them bit of a request. Could you put the classes next to the cars on the smaller entries trials. I know you have to do a lot of editing but it would make the sport easier for novices to understand. Love what your doing - thank you for the videos.

Glad to know you’re enjoying the video’s.We understand what you’re saying but rather than putting the class information on the screen we are planning to do a series of what you need to know for the different motorsports that we film.

@@Clubmotorsportuk Brilliant. Thank you.

Not sure we identify as Rednecks buy you could be right…

@@Clubmotorsportuk redneck is a state of mind

The Camel Classic has always been a fantastic event. This year the trial was oversubscribed well before the closing date for entries. A glowing endorsement. Glad you enjoyed the video, rekindling some great memories.

With LSD’s the organisers would have a harder time stopping the cars. So therefore they are not allowed in any of the Rwd classes. So making it easier for the organisers to stop the cars and very much making it more difficult for the competitors to find grip.

@@Clubmotorsportuk great explanation! Thank you!

A highly modified car, with a supercharger fitted for added power too.

Unfortunately LSD’s are not allowed apart from in the Fwd class. In all the other classes an “open” differential must be used, though many cars run differentials with 4 star wheels/needle roller bearings. Many of the older cars have had a long history in trialling, some cars being in the use of the 3’rd generation.

Thank you

The rear wheel drive cars are not allowed to use LSD’s. They are however allowed to be used in the front wheel drive class. This was introduced because of the fragile nature of many FWD cars differentials.

These cars raise many more questions than just tire choice lol. Must be to do with the club rules etc. Looks like fun though 👍

The tyres used are of road pattern. Due to size availability issues there is now a rule that allows any tyre as long as a 8mm(5/16 Inch) diameter bar does not fit in the tyre tread . If it does the tyre is not allowed to be used. This still leads to some quite gnarly looking tyres being used. The only downside with some of these tyres is that they can have a stiff tyre wall. This limiting grip if there is a tyre pressure limit.

The cars are divided into different classes . Fwd saloons,production cars pre 1941 plus some added later models. Then you have front engined Rwd saloons , two classes for rear engined Rwd saloons for split at 1300cc. Then you have a class for sports cars ie Mazda Mx5(Miata) and the Z3 a class for cars modified beyond class rules/recognised kit car and then a class for non production specialist cars.

Rules don't allow knobbly tyres. Have to be a road pattern.

That Skoda has doing these events for quite a number of years.

Trials certainly is a different way to abuse your Z3!

Certainly are..
