VSCC Cotswold Trial 2017

Video of some of the cars on the VSCC Cotswold Trial. I've arranged it by class, and in the order they came past. As the hills changed so much as the day went on it seemed sensible to do it this way.
Sorry there aren't more of the Long Wheelbase cars, there was a slippery section of the hill further down, which definitely didn't seem to suit the bigger cars.

Winter must have been a riot back in the day. Looks excellent fun

[@rogerlephoque3704]

This is absurdly wonderful

[@loveitorscrapit6673]

Great fun in old classics. Thumbs up.

2:53 that's Brum!

[@Olivergoodchild2]

I feel like the marshals are a bit unfair at times, for some people they give them ages to try and get up the hill ( one red tourer went backwards before gaining traction, yet sometimes they'll cut them off before they've even had a chance.

[@Olivergoodchild2]

And the more I watch it (mainly the car around 16:35 or around there) they seem to want to stop the car at any opportunity they can??

[@pistonburner6448]

Well, they clearly are communist b**tards, waving their red flags around all day and everything.

[@raywest3834]

When very few cars can move even 5 ft. why don't they move the start line to a place further back?

Заебись гонка, машины тронуться не могут, смотрел не дыша, до чего захватывающее зрелище )))

[@MarcoRoepers]

It looks to me that the first drivers have a for more easy job than the ones later on.

[@SaschaFrohsinn]

Very nice

[@1mandas]

a lot of pressure on the tires

[@smilinacha]

It literally does not matter, but I don’t understand how this could be fun for anyone, but obviously it’s a big thing over there, so God bless ‘em.
On another thought, it would be hilarious to do a Chevy LS swap in one of those with a large enough engine bay, put in four-wheel-drive and slap on some Mudboggers😂. I understand this seems to be about driving up wet, shitty hills and very old vehicles, but it would be funny to see the contrast.

[@kikowner]

Why do people jump on their seats?

[@kikowner]

Is it the only way to get the car to move on the mud?

[@kikowner]

the guy at 3:35 with the throttle feathering seems to be the only one who knows what they're doing

[@timothypayne7707]

Thanks for your comments. Yes 'bouncing' as it's known is to aid traction. As for technique I'm no expert, but gather from watching that it's very difficult, and really depends on the conditions as to what works best. See 8:07 for a way that worked when surface was too slippery to crawl up.

[@CaptainKrimson]

I started hopping on my chair while watching.....

[@rogerlephoque3704]

Ants...

[@tumgo466]

What engines do there have?

[@geoffmaltby7267]

Original 750cc austin engines, most are modified with period parts

[@andrewnielsen3178]

Wot no Delows??

[@raywest3834]

Pretty sure Dellows are not old enough for this particular trial.

[@CaptainKrimson]

Did I see a Burgatti being called a Austin? :-)

[@timothypayne7707]

It's an Austin 7 in disguise as a Brescia Bugatti. Note the 3 stud wheels (you can't quite see the Austin seven badge on the radiator from that angle).

[@paulhelman2376]

Morgan trikes would do well.

[@raywest3834]

Morgan three-wheelers are only one-wheel-drive, yet have to manage three distinct tracks. Probably not effective.

[@HROM1908]

Reduce wheelspin and easy as she goes will do the trick.

2:10 Nutcases 😅

[@geoffmaltby7267]

It got them up

[@manuhonkanen2111]

Winners!

Gote. Tá. Carro netigo

[@ronitsingh85]
