BTRDA® Gold Star® Champions

Stop/Restart Experiment

Added: 23rd April 2007

On the Gaby Mohr PCT, if ground conditions warrant it, there will be one or two hills with a stop and restart included.  Classic Trialists are well used to this idea, but although not the first time it has ever been used on a Production Car Trial, it will be a new one for the BTRDA and British championships.

Cars will approach a line across the course, and have to stop astride this line.  Once stopped, the marshal will lower a flag and the car should move forward.  The rear wheels of the car must cross the line within ten seconds with a penalty being applied if this doesn't occur.  The car then proceeds up the hill/section in the normal way.
