Go Trialling - The motorsport virgin

You're keen, you've always wanted to do something interesting, and you like what you've seen so far. You've watched Ewan MacGregor in Long Way Down, thought you'd like a similar adventure one day, but realise you still have a family, a mortgage, and a career to deal with... You might not have a suitable vehicle yet. You're really not sure where to start.

Come and spectate on one of our major trials. Maybe you saw the Fifth Gear programme, but that doesn't compare to seeing it in the flesh. You'll get some idea of the sort of vehicle that might suit you, you'll see the different ways they've been prepared, and how they perform. There will almost certainly be some experienced competitors in the crowd who'll be only too willing to chat to you. See the Home Page for the dates of our events, and the Where to spectate page for details of .... where to spectate.
Get a suitable vehicle, prepare it, join the MCC, and enter one of our three major trials in Class 0. Class 0 has a slightly less daunting route and sections than the other classes but is a real enough challenge if you've never done any motorsport before. Can you get up all the sections and claim a Tin award at your first attempt?
Alternatively, if the timing is right, enter the Testing Trial. This is non-damaging, social as well as competitive, and will give you a chance to fling your new machine around in a safe off-road environment. You'll get invaluable experience of how your vehicle handles off-road and how simple things like adjusting tyre pressures affect your vehicle's performance. You'll get an even closer look at other people's vehicles and you get to chat to them about mods, technique, etc.
