Offroad Trials Something
new for the team
Here at Aegis Autosports
we like to turn our hands to something new, so when the opportunity came
to try our luck at a RTV trial event in our Landrover we jumped at the
chance!
The
event was held at Nellies Dell in Hampshire and run under MSA
regulations by the Four Wheel Drive Club. The course comprised of 4
quite different and challenging sections that were to be run one way in
the morning and the other in the afternoon.
Although reasonably
experienced at 'Greenlaneing' we had never given anything like this a
try - and it was interesting to say the least! Points were gained for
either allowing the vehicle to stop moving or touching the gates that
made up the sections, with the lowest cumulative score taking the
laurels.
In truth we were not very competitive in the
event. Inexperience
told, and our Discovery 1 finds it difficult to match the turning
circle of the smaller Suzukis that were on show. Due to
various
circumstances we elected to only participate in the mornings runs - but
we did enjoy them! If the club runs this again we would likely be
inclined to have another go and see if we could do a bit better!
