As the Car Trial season returns after it’s summer break, Maidstone and Mid Kent Motor Club (MMKMC) are gearing up for their famous Brian Lewis Trial. On the 29th of September 2024 MMKMC will be hosting their last off-road event of the season, so if you’re yet to enter the exciting world of Car Trials, this is a fantastic opportunity to get started.
A Car Trial tests the limits of a car alongside a driver’s ability to negotiate the challenging terrain by planning their approach to each section. They can often include climbing steep hills, meaning the key to success lies in ensuring you maintain momentum. To compete in a Car Trial you do not need any specific vehicle modifications, so if you’re ready to take your everyday road car off-road, find out more about how you can get involved via the MMKMC website.
Still not sure whether car trialling is for you? Below are highlights of the Tyrwhitt Drake Trial that MMKMC ran earlier in the year. If you’re not based in South East England do not fear, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved in your standard road car, with many StreetCar Clubs offering an array of motorsport events across the UK. To kick start your journey into grassroots motorsport, submit a ‘get started’ form here.
