Cammie Campbell on the Hampton Downs track

What is a Classic Trial?
A Classic Trial is a low key, track based, motorsport event designed for road-going classic cars. Each driver pre-selects their lap time before the start of the event, then tries to acheive that time as closely as possible. This way am MGB can compete on equal terms with a 1993 Ferrari 348TS or a 1957 Triumph TR 3. The 'winner' of the event is the driver who most closely laps to their mominated time.

The Apparelmaster Classic Trials weekend is taking place on 27-29 January at the Hampton Downs circuit. The entry list for this event has 5 drivers punting MGB's, so why not go out to Hampton Downs for a day to watch your fellow club members. You never know, you might catch the bug and want to join them on the track. Looks like two races each day, at 12:00pm and some time after 4:00pm.

MG Club entrants are: Mike McGowan MGB GT V8, Ian Christie MGB GT, Don Roy MGB GT V8, John Fulford MGB GT, John 'Cammie' Campbell MGB GT.

HERE is a copy of Apparelmaster Classic Trials entry list.

PS. Cammie has promised to write an article about his experiences on the track as a Classic Trialist, soon.

Happy MG Classic Trialing!
