Mud, thrills and roaring engines... Fantastic!
4x4 Trials require discipline and total control of the vehicle. This sort of championship is always spectacular to watch.
The Eurotrial is back this year in Crossodromo Baldasserona, in the republic of San Marino (Italy) on the last weekend of July!

A little history about the trial...
The competition began in1996in Germany, where it took place again the following year. It’s an agility trial where any notion of speed is excluded. The Eurotrial can be compared to the most difficult rock crawling events in America.
Nearly 200 European teams meet annually.
The Race
There’s three days of competition on the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August.
The technical checks are on Friday and the competition begins on Saturday and continues on Sunday. It's from 8am to 6pm but the competition can continue until 8pm depending on the number of vehicles taking part.
At the end of the competition there is the Fellowship Festival when each country exchanges their traditional products.
Features
There are five competition categories depending on the level of the vehicle preparation.
The event is made up of 8 to 10 sectorswith 5 obstacle passages. The zones are very dynamic and offer a great show to the public!
