TRIALS

The VSCC Trials season runs throughout the winter months with seven events held each year. Sub-divided into classes, based on both car wheelbase length and VSCC Eligibility classification, the discipline is highly competitive with a number of named trophies awarded for overall and class victories, as detailed in the individual trophy descriptions below. In addition, several other named trophies are awarded for other accomplishments, including those based on driver’s experience or longevity of membership. Trophies are presented at events or at the Club’s AGM.
