MCC Exeter Trials, Simms hill section. 7th January 2023

This is my own recording of the MCC Exeter Trials, at the Simms hill section. On 7th January 2023.

Can't beat a British hillclimb!!! So wonderfully simple. Find a greasy hill and get up it.! Love the variation of vehicles. Cheers for sharing mate!

[@sublime929]

I have gone cross eyed over the focusing of that camera

[@jaisabai4155]

Great fun and an excellent group of spectators. Thank you. 🙏

[@snapon666]

The tr 3 did it like a boss !!

[@hzhz3469]

So good! Thank you for sharing sir!

[@WhiteCavendish]

This looks absolutely brilliant. I love seeing all those old vintage cars just giving it the beans up the hill! Looks like an absolute blast. I noticed the punch buggies seemed to have a notable advantage with all the weight in the rear and rwd. Cheers from across the pond!

[@SinkyYT]

Finally KZbin recommended something decent to watch!

[@simonbertioli4696]

Love this sort of fun... Not everyone's cup of tea... But for those determined....there is success, and above all family fun.👍👍

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Love the Reliant Special 3-wheeler at 17:48, followed by a Reliant Scimitar SS1 four-wheeler. They both made it!

[@raywest3834]

Love to see the Ford Pops (there used to be a couple of really competitive ones) First Morris Minor I've seen. Never see a 60's Ford Anglia, although, on paper they should do well.

[@ronfox5519]

Love the golf clap at a hillclimb. The brittish must be the most polite people in the world.

[@lylejohnston4125]

10:20 that TR3 just cruised up that hill!

[@1mikefrost]

Probably the Pembrokeshire registration number that helped it ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@CARLOS62B]

Nice footage mate

[@theolliproductions]

The rear engined vehicles seemed to do really well, guess thats cause of the weight on the axle gives em better traction.

[@guily6669]

Yeah but like the VW has an even bigger advantage of having most its weight in the rear too

[@effinog]

How frightfully British. Jolly good show chaps!

[@aaronmcconnell9369]

Awesome

[@carlocaroni]

looks like a lot of fun,for drivers and spectators,a great and not too expensive kind of motorsport.the bikes seems to have trial tyres,am i correct?

[@leorigby3069]

Looks like fantastic fun, I did look away when some nearly roll back into the bank. I can smell old car smells from here 😄

[@BassSwirls]

I'd loved to of been there, when's the next local event please. I used to go to the Torbay events. Thanks.

[@kevinb6904]

The Austin Healy was fantastic

[@richgibson4549]

Excellent clips! Can I ask please, what you filmed this with? Thanks R

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Hi. It was all shot on my iPhone 14 Pro Max

[@sublime929]

Seems like a toaster oven

[@RingPullPaulMetalDetecting]

It was the canon superfocus 3000

[@deanhayes98]

The autofocus was horrific

[@jonas852]

i have no ide what this really is or what the rules are. but i love it! looks so much fun. vw bug or a beach buggy is a great choice but i wonder how a old Volvo 340 would fair

[@beaglemanzzz]

Is 4 wheel drive explicitly forbidden or is it just frowned upon for being too easy?

[@EndeavorsDnB]

The blurry parts were quite frustrating, love these races tho. Thx!

[@MilkDrinker218]

I thought it was funny how half the time they’d be starting the run, the camera would go fuzzy, and then when it came back to being clear the engine would’ve stalled out

[@Smittyschannel]

Why did some stop & others not stop at the bottom of the hill? and WHY do some of them continue to try & climb it in 2nd or 3rd gear?!?!?

[@user-ev5gn4yd4h]

some classes have a restart for some sections to make it a little fairer as for rear engined cars, or bikes it can be a little easier to climb some sections due to traction etc. the restart isn’t always at the bottom though and can be mid way up the hill, like the section blue hills on the lands end trial 👍

[@therealjasonseidel]

Is there a rule against running the appropriate tires for mud?

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Yea it was summer tires (no mud or snow spec tires), open diff and FWD/RWD only. Basically to give them every disadvantage going!

[@therealjasonseidel]

@@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774 thank you for answering. I have been perplexed for sure. Great content

[@MrSneaksful]

@@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774 ah, I was wondering when these cars have lift kits, skid plates, fog lights, everything but a set of mud tires. Ok love the rules.

[@peterbarnes2845]

What would I search for in google, if I was looking to see if this kind of event exists in my area? I live in County Durham

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Something along the lines of “classic car trials”

[@victimovtalent6036]

no a scooter/moped?

[@joegilly1523]

LMAO the Variety of cars that made it was hilarious. When the stop they loose there momentum,hard to start up again. I know the camera doesn’t give the hill justice. When the VW BUGS made it was great. Them cars need good MUD tires, it would help.

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

It was crazy the variety of cars that were running. I was only there for half the event, but all the others that were waiting in line was ridiculous. Anything from vintage three row bench seat motor cars, to reliant robin chassis based cars, to beetles, to MX5’s etc. the be beetles did seem to have the best luck. And the video doesn’t show it justice to how steep it was. And it was stupidly muddy and boggy from the rain prior to it. And the mud tires would help, but I believe it was against the regs. Think it was summer tires only

[@greghardy7239]

why do some people stop at the corner and others barrel around it?

[@TheoriginalSpaceboy]

It depends what class you are running in

[@liamhawkins4062]

The rules?

[@CobaltOntarioadventures]

5MPH speed limit or what?

[@user-ev5gn4yd4h]

It can look a lot slower from this angle haha! Most cars go flat out but remember there’s a lot of classics so even with a V8 theyd get a little shaky, and the angle always makes us look slower

[@chrisb8075]

It's a "section", stages are on rallies, this is a Classic Trial.

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Noted and rectified. Thank you, my mistake.

[@StalharD]

Дневники Жуки сделали всех😱👍👍👍👍👍

[@Ryan-il1zh]

un cameraman de qualité

[@tomvalentine4928]

Why are some allowed a rolling start while others have to stop and do a standing start?

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

From memory, I believe it was rules for different classes that were running there. I believe one was starting back around the corner at the bottom, and another could start at the marked point at the bottom of the hill

[@vitormendonca18]

Amazing!! 13:30 What car is it?

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

The one that was stopped part way up on that time stamp was a Morris Minor

[@UAZbk]

Очень крутое мероприятие

[@tdog1461]

This was so much fun to watch

[@seetheforest]

I kept waiting for the KX500 with a fresh tire on the back..

[@grahamjones3906]

think its only trials tyres on motorbikes allowed

[@althejazzman]

So what I've learnt from this is if I buy a VW Beatle I have a good change of success, and if I buy a Suzuki X90, I have a low chance of success.

[@hackdaniels7253]

I'm not saying it's easy on a motorbike. I'm definitely NOT saying that. But somehow you never ever doubt that most of the motorbikes are going to make it up quite easily. And that's exactly what happens.

[@hackdaniels7253]

Obviously typed the comment before 12:08

[@geoffreypiltz271]

Being single track vehicles bikes have a much wider choice in the line they can take. Cars as dual track vehicles are much more limited in this respect.

[@carmiethompson2676]

@@hackdaniels7253 The bikes that didn't make the hill were piloted by riders who didn't know how to ride a section like that or the bikes were to heavy to maneuver like they needed too. That hill would've been a cake walk for my Suzuki DR650 w/ knobby tires. The OEM tires were skittish on anything other then the road. That was the problem w/ a lot of the cars, using regular street tires instead of A/T, M/T or snow tires. Look how 'filled' the tread got.

[@jimmycodingmusic]

Can I use a fragment on Instagram? How do I quote you there?

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Yea that’s fine, not a problem. And can just quote the name of the YT channel in your post, will be ok.

[@jimmycodingmusic]

@@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774 Thanks. Are you ok if I cut out just the bit with my friend and I?

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

Yea that’s fine. Take as much as you want. Not a problem. 👍

WHO ELSE CAME HERE JUST TO WATCH THE TR3 RIP THAT HILL? @10:14 😀

[@danshort742]

beetle life

[@grahamjones3906]

tyre pressures help

[@user-ev5gn4yd4h]

Yes! It can be tricky for this section though because sometimes it can be a little drier and you want a little more in your tyres. Did this climb yesterday in the morris minor in this video and went for 12psi

[@tomaszdudek8090]

Nie zrezygnowałem z grochu.W tej formie ponieważ nie ma tu otępienia.

[@65oh7]

The angle makes the hill look so shallow until you realize the angle from people walking up it.

[@WhiteCavendish]

Cameras never capture how steep hills are off road.

[@wrecks02]

Watching all those VWs just walking over the section, it's not hard to understand why the Wehrmacht slapped tin sides on the same running gear and called it the Kubelwagen...

[@lutomson3496]

not all VWs did those with 2 tires on the back for additional weight did well with good tires on

[@erwin4501]

Thought the KTM might have faired better !! Good effort though ......

[@dallelume1998]

Esa subida para una moto de enduro o Trail, es insignificante.

[@dmsentra]

Real problems with camera focus going on.

[@John_Redcorn_]

Someone needs to tell them that jumping up and down does NOT help traction. It kills your momentum.

[@user-ev5gn4yd4h]

It actually does help for some sections! Sometimes the movement is more to bounce you out of a hole you’re digging yourself and although your point it true sometimes often it’s the best you can do in the moment to try and clear the section haha

[@rumwilliam2767]

All the gear no idea

Those kinds of car events are against EU ECO rules!

didn’t realise you were against eu fun rules too. Ask the Celebs with private jets to stop before you ask people who are enjoying a sport that’s been in the family for generations.

I've never seen so much faffing around with those bikes, those blokes want their license taking off them if they ride on the road, that is a muddy path, simple on those bikes. Reactions of a Sloth, scary

[@lukeevansbigrigmoments5774]

It was exceptionally wet that day. As it had been raining heavily the day before and the morning leading up to the event. And the hill was ridiculously slippery for competitors and spectators alike. And with the steep gradient of the hill, it was only understandable
