The ultimate in winter rallying for the most adventurous of drivers, The Winter Trial 2019, will be held from January 27th to February 1st of 2019. A total of 100 teams will compete with each other and the snowy mountain roads of Middle and Eastern Europe. With 85 confirmed entries, and just 15 places remaining, the organization would like to invite brave participants to enter the most challenging of winter rallying challenges.
Organized by Classic Events, The Winter Trial 2019 is an adventurous rally for classic cars built before 1986. During the event, both drivers and navigators will be met by wintry conditions, night driving, regularities and time controls. Equipes can choose to participate in three different classes. The Challenge Category is aimed at teams preferring to drive during daytime. On top of that, the even more competitive Trial Category offers two difficult night drives. For teams who choose to do their rallying in a more relaxed fashion, a special Touring Category is provided for, with only time controls and one regularity per day.
