TYRO =
Tyro trials are aimed primarily at those new to trialling. The word 'tyro' being defined in the dictionary as 'someone new to a field or activity'. (Tyro is also an acronym for 'Try Your Rover Out or better still 'Turn Your Rover Over'). In order to allow the event to be used as an introduction to offroading, drivers taking part can be as young as 14 years of age if the vehicle is a standard vehicle. An ideal opportunity to impress Dad or Mum!
The trial is set out within strict guidelines to ensure that there is little chance of damage to the vehicle or injury to the occupants. The maximum descent or climb gradient is 50% (1 in 2), the maximum side slope gradient is 25% ( 1 in 4 ) and the maximum depth of water is 0.6 metres. 2 feet in old measurements
There are 12 gates to a section, through which the vehicle must be maneuvered without touching the marker canes and without stopping. The first gate is 12 working down each gate to 1, the gate you touch gains you that score. Clearly the driver with the lowest score wins. Several sections are taken, some in reverse.
was a little scary........
