The Nordic Trial Competition is an annual event which this year will
take place in Espoo in Finland. The organisers for the event
this year is Tapiolan Urheiluautoilijat - TapUA (a local car sports
association). The event is driven in 3 different
groups, group 1 (standard), group 2 (modified) and
group 3 (free). The competition will be held according to
the rules of the Finnish Automobile Sports Federation. Drivers form Norway,
Sweden and Finland must have a valid off-road racing
licence from respective country. Danish and Icelandic drivers must
have valid personal insurance.
|
|
For every class there are about 20 different "trial-stages", which have
to be driven with minimum amount of penalty points. There
is no minimum time-limit on the stages. The stages vary
a lot, anything from rock and boulder -climbing to
dense mud-holes. The stages are very demanding and
therefore it is recommended that even cars in group 1 be well
protected by guards (axles, track rods, fuel tanks). It
is also recommended that cars competing in group 1 have a main roll
cage. As an exception to earlier events with group 1 stages,
it would be desirable that the drivers have trial-competition
experience.
