Rules for Trialing

· ALL entrants must have a valid membership of Buxton & District Land Rover Club prior to signing on to compete in a trial.

· All entrants must hold a driving license. 

· The Club reserves the right to Scrutineer any vehicle prior to starting the trial. See Scrutineering checklist.

· Tyres are to be road legal. No open tread e.g. Maxicross or dumper tyres.

· All Vehicles without a roll cage or roll over bar must run with the roof and sides and windscreen fitted, or if a  soft top rear hoops.

· A suitable rope capable of recovering the vehicle if rolled or stuck must be carried by each competitor

· Trials consist of a number of sections. Each section consists of 10 gates, starting at 10 and descending to 1.

· Each gate, which will be marked by two canes, will be a minimum of 3.00 m wide. The tops of the canes will be marked with two flags numbering the gate. A coloured flag will be on the right hand cane and a white flag will be on the left-hand cane.

· Vehicles try to drive from gate 10 to gate1 without either hitting a cane, losing forward motion or reversing.

· The course is defined as the ground between gate 10 and gate 1.

· Crossing your own tracks is not permitted (except during a shunt)

· Vehicles in class 3 will be allowed ONE shunt (stop and reverse) per section. A shunt is to be indicated whilst the vehicle is still in forward motion with a sound of the horn. A shunt may only be used to negotiate tight turns and must not be used for a second attempt at mud runs or hill climbs. 

· If any part of your vehicle hits a cane (the flag does not constitute part of the cane) you will be scored at that cane. If you stop you will be scored to the gate you are approaching. In order to pass a gate you must get at least one of the vehicles front hubs across a line joining the two canes forming that gate and then either stop or clear the whole gate without hitting a cane. 

· Out of bounds between any two gates will be marked by crossed canes. These canes can be touched but not knocked down. Knocking down crossed canes will be deemed a stop. The cross canes are valid for that pair or gates only. E.g. between 5 and 6. 

· If you fail to make the start of a section at the time allocated (i.e. due to mechanical breakdown) a maximum score will be incurred. 

· If you feel for what ever reason that a section is beyond your capability you can either drive as far as you feel happy with or report to the Secretary of the meeting to take a Max for that section. 

· It is the driver’s responsibility to walk the cause and ensure that they feel happy to drive the course. 

· Missed sections will not be re run. 

· Standard and modified vehicles will start at the same gate, but may separate at an appropriate part of the section. If a split ending to a section is indicated, vehicles competing in Standard class must follow the standard course and vehicles competing in Modified class must follow the Modified course 

· A competing passenger is not permitted to be a passenger in any other competing vehicle.

· Only appointed Marshals will indicate a score to the Secretary of the meeting.

· Disputes should be bought to the attention of the SoM and if unresolved the Steward and the CoC before that section is finished.

These six qualifying events must have been driven in ONE CLASS throughout the year. If you compete in more than seven events, your BEST SIX results will count towards the Championship.

Championship Trophies will be awarded down to third place for qualifying drivers at the end of the year. 

Trial Fees

The entry fee for Off Road Trials organized by BADLRC will be £10.00 per Driver . We feel that this represents extremely good value for a motor sport event held under  MSA permit. The new fees will apply from the first event in 2007 and all following off road trials until further notice.
