ROAD TAXED VEHICLE TRIAL
What is an RTV Trial
RTV events require a road going motor - taxed, insured and MOTed with a simple spring modification to the throttle, which consists of an extra return spring on the throttle cable at the carburettor end. Tyres can be standard road tyres, although on the muddier sites you will prefer something a bit more aggressive, although a set of all-terrain middling pattern may be adequate. We try and lay events out to be non-damaging, although, of course, accidents can happen especially if the red mist is down. You will be scrutineered to make sure nothing is hanging off or about to fall off, but if you have an mot you should be fine. If you haven't tried it and would like to, come along to one of the events. If you want to watch first and see how its done, there are plenty of people who will give you some advice.
How does the event work?
Each event will consist of a number of sections. Each section is made up from gates formed by two canes. The gates are numbered in a descending order from 12 to 1. The driver must start from the 12 gate and then follow a defined path from gate to gate without stopping or touching any of the canes. If the vehicle stops the driver gets penalty points which corresponds to the value of the next gate. If the vehicle touches a cane then the penalty value is the same as that gate number. The winner is the person who after driving all of the sections has the lowest number of penalty points. Dead easy!!!
Prior to turning up for scrutineering please ensure your vehicle complies with the
You will also need to read Peak and Dukeries Supplementary Regulations (SR's) that apply to these events.
