What is the Eurotrial?

Created in 1996, this annual competition is held each time in a different European country.

Its an agility trial where any notion of speed is excluded. The Eurotrial compares to the hardest American rock crawling competitions.

Nearly 200 European teams gather for 3 days of competition, usually the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August.

At the end of the competition, there’s the Festival of Fraternity, where each country exchanges their traditional products.

Characteristics

There are 5 categories of competition based on the preparation of each vehicle, ranging from the strictest to the most advanced.

The event consists of 8 to 10 sectors with 5 obstacles. The areas are highly demanding and offer an impressive show!
