Landsend Trial 2018 Laneskin
Footage from one of the 13 observed sections of the 200 or so miles of the 96th Landsend Trial. This event was first held in the 1910's and each Easter since, just stopping for the war years. The format remains mostly the same, no 4x4, and summer tyres only.
It may appear to some that people are out "wrecking" classic cars, but this is not the case. Older cars are better suited for this type of event as they are lighter with good ground clearance. Cars that would have been bought for peanuts many decades ago when most considered them old bangers, are still lovingly cared for and are still competing and winning on a regular basis. Some years you may be lucky and see original works MGs or Allards, still doing what they were built for, some knocking on 100 years later.
If you want to get involved 2wd X90s, MX5s and a few BMW models are some of the more modern cars now being used successfully and can be picked up cheaply at the moment. For details of how to take part go to the Motor Cyling Club (MCC) website. It is a really cheap , friendly, form of grassroots motorsport that is very easy to get involved in.

Love that definition of a sports car! I remember being given this advice when I bought a Honda RS 250 roadster single - after years riding British bikes. "If you're commuting, keep the revs below 4,000 and she's a pussycat. When you're going for it, and the rev counter hits 8,000 - change DOWN!" :)) Happy days . . .
The true definition of 'grass roots' motorsport! Loving the marshal egging them on, highly entertaining!
As an American I'm not sure what half of these cars are, but they look awesome and it seems fun!

Ford Pops rule! First time I've seen three in a single event. Light, short-wheelbase, easy to hot-up, and a decent-sized bouncer can rock the hell out of them. Perfect!
As a child of the 60-70's I used to love the Sunday afternoon movies on tv. One of my favorites was, The Great Race with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon. This race reminded me a lot of that spirit. Looks like fun!
Personally I believe this is what vehicles were intended for ! Good show of driving skills and proper tire inflation 👍
O melhor offroad que já vi. top demais
The old Vw beetles seem to do well , and the open back Landy , wow the Ford Anglian did brilliant, remember my dad had one of those in the early sixties he bought it for £40 and used to travel to Scotland from Birkenhead on jobs . Great fun video , I was willing everyone to make it without assistance, good fun enjoyed it as if I'd have been there .

Do the crews get disqualified if they receive outside help on the track (such as towing)? As for "wrecking classic cars" - perhaps some of them were in too poor condition to merit a full restoration, so it was decided to let them "go out in a blaze of glory" on the race track?
I've never done a long distance trial. Do you walk the sections first or drive them blind? I have a 2wd gravel rally car with plenty of clearance, might have to have a crack sometime.

I've spoken to people who do a lot of off-road driving with Land Rovers, and they say the reason the Army specify quite narrow tyres for their Landies is because narrow tyres are better at digging down through sloppy mud to reach the solid stuff underneath, whereas really wide tyres tend to float over the top and just spin.
In fact, quite a lot of these old cars weren’t cut out for this type of terrain
