@@190VAF for a foreigner, what are the limitations of the cars? because I seein this kind of videos cars that are not cheap running in this trial events, but I didnt see 4x4 or heavily modified trucks
I accidentally stumbled into one of these trials by accident where I live and ive never been so excited to see 60-70 year olds whip around in the mud in classic cars its the most amazing thing Ive ever seen.
Looks like not one of them had their original engine - apart from the very frst one not one sounded like a flat 4 air cooled engine ... I used to get to the top of the hill in Switzerland under heavy snow no problem while Audi 4x4's had to put chains on with my stock '72 Beetle and snow tyres. Just goes to show....
It's probably ok. Most air cooled engines blow air over their selves more and more as RPM increases. Modern liquid cooled engines would also get hot under this use. It's ok
Looks like something I’d do on forza! Really cool. I always marvel at European Motorsports like banger racing and stock hill climb events. The “Ill sue you over anything” mentality us Americans have prevents this stuff from existing here. I wish I could go and see banger racing! I love seeing older cars get used how they should be and not sitting in a wealthy person’s garage for ages seeing nothing but fluorescent lights.
@@why3011 I know we have demo derbies, but where in the US have you seen banger racing or anything like taking old vintage cars off-road in an event. I’ve never seen anywhere that has banger racing in the US. Funny story: in one demo derby I went to, a car went over the barrier and hit the emergency vehicle.
This stuff exists here, you just don’t leave the city lol. There’s combine derbies a few towns over from me. I was on a pit crew for a 2 hour long go kart dirt track endurance race over the summer. Coleman minibike and shitbox rally racing was also occuring at the same event (gambler 500).
That's why 90's compact small cars are so fun to drive. Short wheelbase, higher clearance, with just higher and lower pressure tires you can go almost everywhere. Also nowadays you don't care - it's like 100-200 bucks for such beater car, which you can give back to scrap and get some peanuts back :D
@@colonelslanders71fwd has weight over the drive axle which makes better traction than a front engine rwd. The bugs do well due to having their engine over the drive axles as well.
Heard of this before . first I've seen it pretty awesome and exotic to someone who lives in the desert here in Southern California haven't seen mud a couple of years
Rolled onto it side, push it back and everything was fine, great thing about this sport is that everybody take great care of looking after their cars and continually maintain/repair them 👍
@@thebubaloomonkey I couldn't imagine going to the dealership and tellIng them I wanted a two-wheel drive x90 back in 1996. They were so ugly, four-wheel drive was the only thing they had going for them.

Love how every passenger looks like they were just picked up from the mental hospital. And you aren’t supposed stare
Ah! I'm dying man😆
I can't even fucking watch it properly now that I've read this.. making me lose my shit everytime I see one bopping about hahah
Ahahah !!!! 2:01 and 2:11 😂😂😂
Oh my God. I can never watch trials again
😂😂😂😂I can’t even finish watching it
That is the most absurd form of motorsports I have ever seen. Looks like fun. I love it!
Its actually the oldest form of Motorsport! There is a lot of thought in what will work and what you can do to make a car competitive. There is also a lot of technique and approach in how you drive them. Its also very cheap as motorsport goes!
@@benhortonben9105 Amazing
Reach out to your local motorsport who will have details on the form of motor sport (Classic Car Trials), any car can be used.
@@190VAF for a foreigner, what are the limitations of the cars? because I seein this kind of videos cars that are not cheap running in this trial events, but I didnt see 4x4 or heavily modified trucks
You find a path thats really difficult for your car and you then ask a friend "hey, can YOUR car make it through?" and then it begins
Those guys are having a blast, that looks like great fun. Never have I heard so many classic cars singing the song of the maximum revs.
"The song of my/our people"
Most of them are kit cars
Some of them are kit cars, there are quite a few Marlins which usually have Ford running gear.@@AmIAntiAntianti
I accidentally stumbled into one of these trials by accident where I live and ive never been so excited to see 60-70 year olds whip around in the mud in classic cars its the most amazing thing Ive ever seen.
Thank you TH-cam Algorithm. This shit looks like so much fun
It sure is 👍
@@190VAF I just got this pop up for me too, amazing fun!
8:35 Everyone loves MK2 Escorts that got the biggest cheer to keep going.
until he rolls it at 9:15
Every time I watch this I just want to go out there and join in, it looks like great fun and a matey way to spend a day. Awesome.
What is the criteria for entry? 50hp, single drive wheel, and garbage tires?
Open diff single could do better 😂
This is band of dervishes on wheels!Absolutely wonderful entertainment.Thank you for the film!
I can't think of anything more British, I love it!
It's brilliant to see how much fun the passengers and drivers are having, sometimes even jumping up and down with excitement.
They are jumping and shifting weight around for better traction. Not to say they are not having fun as well!
There's nothing quite like a pleasant drive through the countryside.
Love the supercharged Levin in there, must be an Initial D fan lol
but why the Ford badge?
jafu745 they used to get mistaken for old fords
anyone else starts bouncing on their chair while watching this?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Monkey see monkey do

@@CaptainKrimson well done what do want a sticker or a badge or something, so what
Great video! As usual, it never quite seems to capture just how steep this hill is in reality!
Where is it ?
@@gilly9666 Dursley in Gloucestershire, UK
this is one of my favorite videos on all of TH-cam. Madness!
I reckon those bugs would do really well here having rear engine
But the real trick is to carry as much speed into the first corner
Looks like not one of them had their original engine - apart from the very frst one not one sounded like a flat 4 air cooled engine ...
I used to get to the top of the hill in Switzerland under heavy snow no problem while Audi 4x4's had to put chains on with my stock '72 Beetle and snow tyres. Just goes to show....
that was awesome..looks like a shit load of fun. I have to wonder though if they have a rule prohibiting more aggressive tires.
so has the road quality improved since 2013 or you need an off-road vehicle to get to grocery store?
Wow this is very nice! See that oldies climbing is awesome! Great discovery this sport for me, ¡Saludos desde España! 🇪🇸
It looks like few of these cars unfortunately crashed or even rolled while attempting, why did you cut that out?
There was no crashes, slow speed event, not like rallying. These are really enjoyable events.
That Beetle's engine must be toasty. Aircooled revving it's guts out going 2 mph
It's probably ok. Most air cooled engines blow air over their selves more and more as RPM increases. Modern liquid cooled engines would also get hot under this use. It's ok
The engine is probably fine. The clutch on the other hand...
The greatest race car of all time was also air cooled. The Porsche 917
@@ColoradoStreaming not to mention the tires
Yeah, but that had a whacking great fan in the engine bay.@@DolleHengst
4:03 when you the aux lead and can finally play some bangers

Interesting how most of these open top cars would kill their passengers in case of roll over
Lucky they don’t roll them over then hey
and the one that rolled over was a closed top, which are made of tin foil anyway

single wheel drive only, so no diff lock etc, you would be amazed what can be climbed with single wheel drive
No clutches were harmed in the making of this video
Bro, I'm fuckin dying over here 🤣🤣
4:05 The headbanging is just phenomenal .
5:42 are my eyes playing tricks or is that a ford badge on a AE85/6?
i think less speed and control of aceleration plus less air in tires can make the difference. thank you for the video, it looks so fun
You need to visit hill in the flesh! Its bloody steep on that right hander and there is step which makes the off side wheel and stop you dead!
Momentum, momentum and more momentum.
Didn't know this was a thing, and what a great thing it is. Thanks for bringing it to us!
I would like to see the uncut version!
Waiting for the Reliant Robin to take a run...
With the driver and passenger shaking it hard enough, it will make it up the hill.
…sideways.
Surprised no Hillman Imps, maybe coz of cooling issues? Do the unsuccessful cars generally roll back down to the bottom?
reverse back down, Imps are used very successfully. Just not one entered on this event this time round
Heard of this before .
first I've seen it pretty awesome and exotic to someone who lives in the desert here in Southern California haven't seen mud a couple of years
Looks really fun! But why don't any of them have a limited slip diff, save the one wheel spinning where there is no traction?
The yellow car obviously rolled over when it hit the left bank and they cut the camera so we couldn’t see it

@@cLab2022 I didn't film it

are limited slip diffs or welded diffs against the rules?

They do this in open cars without a roll bar/cage?!
This needs to be named Mr. Toad's Wild Rally.
are there power train and tire restrictions? very interesting looks fun

From high-school physics I would have to say that the best strategy is to stay on the power as much as possible without spinning the wheels
