BTRDA FINAL

Event Details

The BTRDA (British Trials and Rally Drivers Association) production car trials (PCT) national championship finals will take place at Catton Hall between Burton on Trent and Lichfield on Sunday (21 October).

 

The event will see 2006 champion Neil Mackay, from Nottingham, bid to defend his title against three former BTRDA champions, Yorkshire's Les Andrew, Surrey's Barrie Parker and Dave Oliver, from Warwickshire, as well as 2007 MSA (Motor Sports Association) champion, Hamstal Ridware's Garry Preston, in the Gold Star series.

 

The overall winner on the day will take the Gold Star championship whilst the Silver and Bronze series' titles will also be decided on Sunday.

 

Clerk of the course, Duncan Stephens, said: "It promises to be a really good event with some tight competition for the championship.

 

"It's a chance for the public to watch the finals of the UK's premier PCT event for FREE. Everyone is welcome to come along and they will also be able to find out more about getting involved in motorsport as well as learning about PCT's."

 

A PCT uses standard road cars and requires a high degree of skill and commitment.

 

Cars are essentially unmodified but some vehicles do carry ballast to improve the grip of the standard road tyres.

 

Competing across grass, cars have to proceed with unassisted motion through sections set out on a hillside, with it being essential to be able to drive the machine skilfully and accurately whilst retaining grip on the slippery surface.

 

A passenger must be carried in the front of the car. The further a driver gets up a section, the lower the score. The driver with the lowest score of the day is the winner.

 

The event at Catton Hall will start at 10am; finishing at approximately 4pm. Directions to the PCT will be signposted from the A38 at Alrewas.
