The Best Kept Secret In British Motorsport - Sporting Trials

Let us introduce you to one of the most unique and thrilling motorsports you'll ever see. We’re talking about Sporting Trials, the ultimate test of skill and control in a 2-wheel drive car.
In Sporting Trials, speed isn't the name of the game. It's all about control, precision, and timing. You see, the course is set up on a steep hillside, littered with obstacles, rocks, and mud, and the goal is to make it from the bottom to the top in the shortest time possible. But here's the catch: you have to do it without stopping or reversing. This is a one-way trip, folks. And the only thing between you and the finish line is your ability to keep that car moving forward.
And if you think you can just power through the obstacles, think again. This is a sport that rewards finesse over brute force. You have to use every trick in the book to get that car up that hill.
And the cars themselves? They're a sight to behold. Sporting Trials cars are purpose-built, with ultra-lightweight frames, powerful engines, and specially designed tires that grip the terrain like a vice. But it's not just about the hardware. The drivers themselves are a special breed. They have to have lightning-fast reflexes, nerves of steel, and an unshakable determination to conquer the course.
So, if you're looking for a motorsport that will test your mettle, push you to the limit, and leave you breathless, then look no further than Sporting Trials.
Sporting Trials, cars are designed especially for the purpose. Classic Trials are the original form of Trials. The cars tend to date from as early as the 1930s.

Surely putting some tires with better tread on would help surely?

Looks like they had a struggle at first.

[@timothymiller9886]

If there was no other type of motorsport to choose from...maybe. but given the vast selection to take interest in this ain't it. Other then that it's probably cheap as hell to get started I can't see why anyone would get into this lol but with that being said respect to anyone that does like it I just can't wrap my head around the fact that this many people do this lol

[@1968loewe]

do the participants pay for all the environmental damage???

[@Britclip]

They own the land.
