  • Will Trialling Wreck our Modified New car? Lands End Trial Finale // Part 3. In this full length episode Jonny Smith and Sion Ellis from Auto Max www.automax-wales.com/ take their new Kia 'Cant' Picanto 1.0 turbo GT Line on the 100th Landsend Trial. This may be the most cost effective motorsport left, but it's definitely not the mildest.
    Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
    The trial was designed over 100 years ago to prove the robustness and reliability of new motorcycles. Then cars started entering. 2024 marked the 100th running event, so Jonny wanted to see if a new car could handle the punishment, but also the fact it requires staying up for over 24-hours...

    Huge thanks must also go to the Motor Cycling Club (MCC) - www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/ - who encouraged us to try and conquer the trial in a new car, and try to capture it in such inhospitable rural parts of the world (at night!).
    We have used several video clip(s) of Jonny trialling in an episode of Fifth Gear. After careful research into the legalities surrounding 'Fair Use', knowing that we have used the clip(s) in a factual, reportage way to validate the discussion point made by the person(s) involved in the original footage. We have used as short a clips as possible to validate said point. We have also used the clips in the confidence that it will act in a positive transformative way to the original clips; with that in mind, please check out the official Fifth Gear CZcams channel - / fifthgear - and please support them as you are supporting us.

My ideal trials car would be a Ford Model A roadster with a stonking great Ford V8 under the hood as brute horsepower is sometimes the only way to get up those hills. If you've got the trialling bug you should enter the Exeter trial and face the infamous Simms Hill which makes even the hills of The Lands End Trial pale into insignificance. Thanks again Jonny and I'll see you conquer the mighty Simms!

Just need to go back next year and try again. 😂 That’s the beauty of these events.

    Just to confuse people I'd like to track down a factory 4x2 Series 1 Land Rover for a trial. I imagine it would be hopeless as a rear wheel drive car with no weight over the rear.
    I've absolutely loved this series and trialing is definitely a motorsport that doesn't get enough attention.

    Really enjoyed that. If EVs are allowed, a jacked-up VW e-up would be my choice. Not too heavy, loads of torque and the essential heated seats.

    I'd trial a Lada Riva (the Fiat 124 derivative). I once was a passenger in one high into the Kazakhstan mountains near Almati and it really was a mountain goat, driving past lots of 4x4s. Sadly I lost the photo evidence of this thing going over massive boulders. The driver's skill was off the chart, but the car was exceptional for something so basic.

    I don’t need one, but this makes me want a Picanto for scooching around town! This is such a fantastic video. The work that’s gone in is obvious and hugely appreciated. The pair of you did amazing work and the edit is on point!

    The rules in a way have held back the Cant, a set of knobbly mud tyres and she’d be unstoppable! Still did very well and you should be proud. Great job

    Thankyou Johnny for a superb odyssey.Was with you every step of the way willing the Cant up those brutal inclines while bouncing in my kitchen chair…!Best thing on Utube. Oh and my car of choice would be my first car, a 1971 Chrysler Simca 1100. Why?Apparently it’s new front wheel drive for a small hatchback convinced VW to rethink the rear wheel setup of the mighty Beetle and paved the way for the Polo and Golf.The grandaddy of the Cant?Would love to see it spinning up those Blue remembered hills.
