Autotests

Overview

In autotests, the object is to drive around a number of set courses against the clock, with penalties for going the wrong way, hitting marker cones or over-shooting lines.

The winner is the driver with the fastest total time. The events we run are production car autotests, usually on flat grass fields instead of the hilly ones used for trials.

There are events of this type on tarmac, run jointly with another local club. These tend to be a bit harder on the car and tyres. If the event isn’t a production car autotest, then the minimum driving age is 16 and passengers are not allowed.

Free Loan Cars Available
Woolbridge car trials organisers recognise that we need to provide easy access to sample car trials and as such, we offer free loan cars to competitors wishing to try the sport. We have had the cars loaned out to many different people over the last 5 years and it has even lead to new members buying a car and joining the trialling regulars.

The arrangements are that the person wishing to use a car would make arrangements with the trials organizers , join the club (£15) apply for an RS Clubman licence from MSUK (FOC), enter the trial (£26) and bring along 2-3 gallons of petrol.

We currently run 2 cars in trials – a front wheel drive Ford Ka and a rear wheel drive MX5. Both provide reliable and competitive sport and offer a great fun day out whilst you experience the slow speed skill driven sport.

If 2 drivers wish to share the car then this is possible and doubles the fun competing against your in car adversary!
