There's only a first and second price for every category. No third.

Loosers ? It's a win-win situation, at least for Syncros. What's wrong in a bit offroading ?

The ones that lost out where us mere T4 and LT 4WD's, as the track was designed for T3's and too narrow to allow for us.

I would have driven straight over the first pit with a wheel on either side of it knocking every single ball and pole.

I think a lot of people did. It got more interest, than I had figured. Currently I'm waiting on pictures, that a friend took, when I drove it over the logs and container. Should be interesting.

Alex,
I was driving the white van with the orange & grey stripes on the side. My son was with me and we're both over six foot and bearded. Does that ring any bells - I did have a quick chat with you?

Well done Gary !

One day we'll hopefully get back to English trials, cos I'm:
a) no good at German ones b) missing the full-on challenge of keeping moving over difficult terrain c) wondering if we can export our form of trial :smile:
.....

er, no! Forgot we're not too good at exports.
