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!
