this is the coolest thing i have ever seen in motorsport, true mechanical functionality at its finest!!!!!!!! oh my gosh my hearts warm right now, i cant get enough, this needs to come to america. everyone here wants stupid lifted 8000lb trucks that cant get through a forestry road.... you people are awesome!
The "Goose" won! Got the furthest and kept going further than anyone, on into the green woods. --Partly it appears by not 'goosing' it too much in the toughest part, and rolling along the edge of the accepted track. Agree on the sound, a lively dino goose that.
Off road tyres isn't in the spirit of the sport, we all have to use road tyres to level the playing field. Bouncing absolutely does aide traction, particularly in a long wheelbase car.
Someone needs to design a type of “locker” retro - fitted and your traction problems would go bye - bye! Anything is possible with the right frame of mind.
For the benefit of the uninitiated, back in the day Trials were effectively used as a proving ground for new products, just as 'around the world' and 'across the desert' expeditions were used as manufacturer promotion/publicity. The cars in question here have long since proved that they are fairly bullet proof (otherwise they would have completely disappeared, instead of becoming somewhat endangered.) The sole achievement for vintage trials these days (if we exclude enjoyment of the participants) is to break things- this does boost the re-manufacture of replica parts to the original pattern, but to many the ethics are questionable. We all enjoyed Jean Alesi thumping Nicki Lauda's old Ferrari around Monaco the other year, and the car did end up getting bent..but critically, this occurred whilst the car was doing what it was designed to do. The cars you see featured here are road cars, hence not designed for off-roading. Quite apart from the mechanical strain, ladder frame chassis are a lot more flexible than modern monocoque designs, and this movement is passed through the wooden body frame and metal panels...particularly over rough ground. Everything loosens up and becomes slack, and this slackness progresses as the miles go by. As Ali Ali has observed in the comments field below, there is a lot of 'maltrato' going on here. When all is said and done, if you own a car and want to mangle it however, it's your choice.
What an incredibly uninformed and malicious comment towards some of the most dedicated car enthusiasts in the world. We do not trial with the intention of purposefully breaking machinery and you are clearly baiting for a reaction to suggest we do. The maintenance of a well sorted vintage trials car far exceeds 9/10 of the poor-but-shiny examples of prewar cars trotted around to steam fairs and the ilk for the ponderous and aged to ooh and ahh over. Many of these cars have competed in this form of motorsport for decades, and examples of every marque shown here did compete in trials before the war. They are very much capable of doing this. Do remember, paved roads were not awfully common in the 1920s. There is no ethical debate to using a car, repairing it where necessary and enjoying it in a way most only dream of. Do bother off to a more receptive channel if trials aren't for you.

6:23 made me laugh my head off. Sounded like a dinosaur goose! My vote for the most comical sounding car on the track!

Yes. There was something different about it. It had character. I knew it would win.
I think this is a vintage car collector's nightmare
Good job we're not boring collectors then and instead use our cars. Nothing worse than a car collector!
@@anglova I have to say it looks rather good fun
The cars need knobby tires, not street tires. Bouncing has no effect on traction.
Off road tyres isn't in the spirit of the sport, we all have to use road tyres to level the playing field.

@@anglova I don't see bouncing helping at all on mud. That's my observation.
Red car engine hitting 7000 rpm at cam time 7:00! Surprised the engine never blew up! Never thought that vintage cars engines could do 7000 rpm!
It's supercharged :)
Supercharged. Got it mate.

That's cheating and defeats the point. Trials are always run with open diffs and road tyres.
No swamp no pleasure ! Even sound recording is flooded !!!!!!!!!!
instead using good tires and diff lock you just need a stupid looking bouncing passenger

Just a bit of gravel would fix that traction issue.
audio is a bit low but still good vid
such great fun.
que pena el maltrato a estos clasicos
