99th Land’s End Trial 2023 - Just cars.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Motor Cycling Club’s Annual Easter Saturday Event.
The 99th running of this long distance reliability trial begins at Bridgewater and ends at the notorious Blue Hills sections near St Agnes. 20 sections (hills) are attempted over 24 hours, covering Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. A 350 mile journey.
I was hoping to film more cars, but for the first time my 3 batteries weren't enough!

Yeah just airing down tires to 10 psi will nearly double your traction off-road
That model A blasting up without taking a breath was pretty awesome, nearly 100 years old and kicking the mx5s asses.

Low end torque is better in older engines. Makes it easier to modulate power a slow speeds. You can actually hear it. The newer models rev a lot and lose traction when the clutch isn’t modulated perfectly.

It's more likely that the bumper will fly off. Old car = old steel. I reckon that strap would have a decent amount of recoiled energy to release in an instant.
This is WAY better than watching jacked-up Jeeps.

Cars like the DP Ford at 5:45, the Lieges at 6:45 and 9:00 and the Troll T6 at 9:14 are designed and built specifically for trials. The Manx did very well but just look at the ridiculous amount of camber that swing axle design gives when the suspension is raised. I bet that thing is a horror to drive on roads.
Hope they weren’t expecting to have a trouble free drive home in those cars!
Pulling like that on that strap had me worried
That 38 Chevy weighs about 3000lb. A little heavy for such an ascent.

Many thanks for the message Debbie. It’s not often Organisers are asked to take a route through a village! Bradworthy, yes I remember (many years ago) coming up from Cornwall to compete in a road rally not so far from your village. The start and finish were at Shebbear. The Land’s End Trial is organised by members of The Motor Cycling Club (www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/ ). Go to the contact page.
