GO Drive - Competing in a car

  • Have you read the GO Trialling page?
  • If you're on your own, and don't know any existing MCC competitors, get in touch with Ian Davis, who deals with public relations for cars and car competitors, and ask him to put you in touch with someone local, or someone who is a regular competitor with a similar car.

Garage work

  • You need to decide what type of car to use (4x4s not allowed), and which class to enter. The ACTC produce an excellent information sheet available from this link.
  • Study the MCC Regulations for events and check-out the Approved Tyre List for cars.
  • You will need to prepare your car. Once again, thanks to our friends at the ACTC for producing the information sheet available from this link.

Paper work

  • Join the MCC - see the Membership page.
  • You do not need an MSA Competition Licence to compete in MCC events, and some ACTC events which specifically invite MCC members to compete (these are known as Clubsport events). You will, however, need an MSA Licence if you wish to compete in ACTC Championship events. This is different from the motorcyclists who need an ACU licence for all events.
  • You will have to decide which trial to enter, and in which class. Check out MCC Class 0 and decide whether to start with this "easier" option or whether to plunge into the main trial in the appropriate class for your vehicle.
  • ... and finally, remember that every car must have both a driver and a passenger, so start looking for willing friends to join you in your adventure.
