Bounces & bumps as trial drivers tackle notorious ‘Crooked Mustard’ hill in Gloucestershire

Drivers from across the UK took part in the annual Cotswold Clouds car trial today (February 5) - which included the notorious s-shaped ‘Crooked Mustard’ stage - a slippery, muddy, twisting uphill trail. Around 80 cars from pre-war to modern took part in the event organised by The Stroud & District Motor Club, but only a handful completed the Crooked Mustard climb. The Gloucestershire-based event has been running since 1950.

@@csdinc The tyres aren't permitted to have a tread block gap or tread depth more than 8mm (5/16 inch) and mud/snow tyres are prohibited even if they somehow meet that requirement, so choice is greatly restricted. Sporting trials cars (designed and built specifically for off road trials) usually have fiddle brakes; separate hand operated brakes for left and right driven wheels which are used as a kind of human controlled limited slip diff, but I don't think this event permits fiddle brakes. All designed to push the emphasis to driver skill rather than vehicle ability.

[@lexidiusBS]

Roads back then weren't as good as they are today, so the cars were designed to be somewhat off-road to begin with. Look at the excellent approach and departure angles (which you can't have nowadays due to needing to have bumpers and other safety features). They're also a lot lighter.

No all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drives allowed, only front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive sign me up for one of the lifted Volkswagen Beatles preferably the green camouflage 1 and a couple other goodies to go and I'm ready to go this looks like a fun day

I've never looked at a vintage roadster and was like, "Bet I could off-road hill climb tf outta that!"

[@Jonathan_Doe_]

Smart roadster smashed it

[@jakei9789]

I think that first blue beetle could use a little weight reduction in the back. Might balance out the handling 😅😂
