Engines revving flat out, cars going at 1mph, passengers jerking around like a vegetarian in a butchers cold room. What kind of madness is this? I LOVE IT!
I accidentally stumbled into one of these trials by accident where I live and ive never been so excited to see 60-70 year olds whip around in the mud in classic cars its the most amazing thing Ive ever seen.
Its actually the oldest form of Motorsport! There is a lot of thought in what will work and what you can do to make a car competitive. There is also a lot of technique and approach in how you drive them. Its also very cheap as motorsport goes!
@@190VAF for a foreigner, what are the limitations of the cars? because I seein this kind of videos cars that are not cheap running in this trial events, but I didnt see 4x4 or heavily modified trucks
Looks like not one of them had their original engine - apart from the very frst one not one sounded like a flat 4 air cooled engine ... I used to get to the top of the hill in Switzerland under heavy snow no problem while Audi 4x4's had to put chains on with my stock '72 Beetle and snow tyres. Just goes to show....
It's probably ok. Most air cooled engines blow air over their selves more and more as RPM increases. Modern liquid cooled engines would also get hot under this use. It's ok
Looks like something I’d do on forza! Really cool. I always marvel at European Motorsports like banger racing and stock hill climb events. The “Ill sue you over anything” mentality us Americans have prevents this stuff from existing here. I wish I could go and see banger racing! I love seeing older cars get used how they should be and not sitting in a wealthy person’s garage for ages seeing nothing but fluorescent lights.
@@why3011 I know we have demo derbies, but where in the US have you seen banger racing or anything like taking old vintage cars off-road in an event. I’ve never seen anywhere that has banger racing in the US. Funny story: in one demo derby I went to, a car went over the barrier and hit the emergency vehicle.
This stuff exists here, you just don’t leave the city lol. There’s combine derbies a few towns over from me. I was on a pit crew for a 2 hour long go kart dirt track endurance race over the summer. Coleman minibike and shitbox rally racing was also occuring at the same event (gambler 500).
That's why 90's compact small cars are so fun to drive. Short wheelbase, higher clearance, with just higher and lower pressure tires you can go almost everywhere. Also nowadays you don't care - it's like 100-200 bucks for such beater car, which you can give back to scrap and get some peanuts back :D
@@colonelslanders71fwd has weight over the drive axle which makes better traction than a front engine rwd. The bugs do well due to having their engine over the drive axles as well.
Rolled onto it side, push it back and everything was fine, great thing about this sport is that everybody take great care of looking after their cars and continually maintain/repair them 👍
My kingdom for an lsd. A locking diff of sorts would also be great....🤪 Also, the escorts seemed to do well in the mud track, like they've done it before!
@@ronaldpotter3962 I have driven my 8,000lb Ram 2500 diesel up more difficult hills than this, but I have no idea what is and is not allowed in the race.
Heard of this before . first I've seen it pretty awesome and exotic to someone who lives in the desert here in Southern California haven't seen mud a couple of years
american motorsports: it rained so we postponed the race european motorsports: take your shit up this ravine and bring a passenger so they can bounce for traction
@@possibly8180 Right six months later and I figured it out. The badge actually did came with the car as it was sold to substitute a ford car. A car in which I don't know the name of but the engine is said to not be the sport dohc 1.6 litre but the economy sohc engine Edit: the one in the video is probably swapped hence why it sounds so sporty
@@thebubaloomonkey I couldn't imagine going to the dealership and tellIng them I wanted a two-wheel drive x90 back in 1996. They were so ugly, four-wheel drive was the only thing they had going for them.
Great Video - especially as you make it look as tho we cleaned it(car 08 green beetle). I agree, it looks nothing on here compared to how steep it really is!
@@ItzJigz187 In my knowledge, I am not a car engineer, the weight of the engine sitting far back on the VW plus the independent suspension help the Beetle on traction and no, the Bettle is rear wheel drive not front wheel drive. Only some Porsches are 4 wheel drive.
I would have thought the Skodas and the bugs would have done better having the engine & gearbox over the back axel. Loved seeing MK1 & MK2 Escorts. I had so many of them.
Anyone notice that after 9:15 min that when that car almost roll, the video is cut off and continued, but after that happened on the far left of the video is a windscreen laying around what was not there before, did that car really roll? Hope not! 😢

Wtf man
Thanks man
and the nissan cherry in 10:07
I'd like to see some older Subaru's.
Love how every passenger looks like they were just picked up from the mental hospital. And you aren’t supposed stare
Ah! I'm dying man😆
I can't even fucking watch it properly now that I've read this.. making me lose my shit everytime I see one bopping about hahah
Ahahah !!!! 2:01 and 2:11 😂😂😂
Oh my God. I can never watch trials again
😂😂😂😂I can’t even finish watching it
I accidentally stumbled into one of these trials by accident where I live and ive never been so excited to see 60-70 year olds whip around in the mud in classic cars its the most amazing thing Ive ever seen.
Those guys are having a blast, that looks like great fun. Never have I heard so many classic cars singing the song of the maximum revs.
"The song of my/our people"
Most of them are kit cars
Some of them are kit cars, there are quite a few Marlins which usually have Ford running gear.@@AmIAntiAntianti
That is the most absurd form of motorsports I have ever seen. Looks like fun. I love it!
Its actually the oldest form of Motorsport! There is a lot of thought in what will work and what you can do to make a car competitive. There is also a lot of technique and approach in how you drive them. Its also very cheap as motorsport goes!
@@benhortonben9105 Amazing
Reach out to your local motorsport who will have details on the form of motor sport (Classic Car Trials), any car can be used.
@@190VAF for a foreigner, what are the limitations of the cars? because I seein this kind of videos cars that are not cheap running in this trial events, but I didnt see 4x4 or heavily modified trucks
You find a path thats really difficult for your car and you then ask a friend "hey, can YOUR car make it through?" and then it begins
Thank you RUclips Algorithm. This shit looks like so much fun
It sure is 👍
@@190VAF I just got this pop up for me too, amazing fun!
anyone else starts bouncing on their chair while watching this?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Monkey see monkey do
@Canadian American I actually do have ADD :-)
@@CaptainKrimson well done what do want a sticker or a badge or something, so what
8:35 Everyone loves MK2 Escorts that got the biggest cheer to keep going.
until he rolls it at 9:15
Every time I watch this I just want to go out there and join in, it looks like great fun and a matey way to spend a day. Awesome.
This is band of dervishes on wheels!Absolutely wonderful entertainment.Thank you for the film!
I reckon those bugs would do really well here having rear engine
But the real trick is to carry as much speed into the first corner
Looks like not one of them had their original engine - apart from the very frst one not one sounded like a flat 4 air cooled engine ...
I used to get to the top of the hill in Switzerland under heavy snow no problem while Audi 4x4's had to put chains on with my stock '72 Beetle and snow tyres. Just goes to show....
There's nothing quite like a pleasant drive through the countryside.
I can't think of anything more British, I love it!
Love the supercharged Levin in there, must be an Initial D fan lol
but why the Ford badge?
jafu745 they used to get mistaken for old fords
It's brilliant to see how much fun the passengers and drivers are having, sometimes even jumping up and down with excitement.
They are jumping and shifting weight around for better traction. Not to say they are not having fun as well!
this is one of my favorite videos on all of RUclips. Madness!
Wow this is very nice! See that oldies climbing is awesome! Great discovery this sport for me, ¡Saludos desde España! 🇪🇸
4:03 when you the aux lead and can finally play some bangers
Sandstorm has entered the chat...
sotto i SOAD !!!!!!!
That Beetle's engine must be toasty. Aircooled revving it's guts out going 2 mph
It's probably ok. Most air cooled engines blow air over their selves more and more as RPM increases. Modern liquid cooled engines would also get hot under this use. It's ok
The engine is probably fine. The clutch on the other hand...
The greatest race car of all time was also air cooled. The Porsche 917
@@ColoradoStreaming not to mention the tires
Yeah, but that had a whacking great fan in the engine bay.@@DolleHengst
would have loved to have seen what a 2cv could do there
that was awesome..looks like a shit load of fun. I have to wonder though if they have a rule prohibiting more aggressive tires.

Go onto the Stroud & District motor club and you can learn more about Classic Car Trials (or look for it on FaceBook
@@190VAF thank you
Looks like everyone was having a good laugh, that would've been a fun day!
Waiting for the Reliant Robin to take a run...
With the driver and passenger shaking it hard enough, it will make it up the hill.
…sideways.
Great video! As usual, it never quite seems to capture just how steep this hill is in reality!
Where is it ?
@@gilly9666 Dursley in Gloucestershire, UK
Interesting how most of these open top cars would kill their passengers in case of roll over
Lucky they don’t roll them over then hey
and the one that rolled over was a closed top, which are made of tin foil anyway
Certain level of raw hearing some of these engines in the high revs
What is the criteria for entry? 50hp, single drive wheel, and garbage tires?
Open diff single could do better 😂

Most 90s compacts would be front wheel drive. They’d suck on this terrain.
Some of my 80s compacts would get disqualified for making it too easy.
@@colonelslanders71 none of the 205's got past that slick rock.
@@colonelslanders71fwd has weight over the drive axle which makes better traction than a front engine rwd. The bugs do well due to having their engine over the drive axles as well.
i think less speed and control of aceleration plus less air in tires can make the difference. thank you for the video, it looks so fun
You need to visit hill in the flesh! Its bloody steep on that right hander and there is step which makes the off side wheel and stop you dead!
Momentum, momentum and more momentum.
Remember watching this on Grandstand on Saturday afternoons in the 1950's, great stuff !
I would like to see the uncut version!
Didn't know this was a thing, and what a great thing it is. Thanks for bringing it to us!
The yellow car obviously rolled over when it hit the left bank and they cut the camera so we couldn’t see it
Rolled onto it side, push it back and everything was fine, great thing about this sport is that everybody take great care of looking after their cars and continually maintain/repair them 👍
@@190VAF why was the video cut then?
@@cLab2022 I didn't film it
No Headgear, no roll cage, no fear. this is absolutely nuts
and it fantastic fun too👍 (this is not a speed event)
I have no idea what I'm watching but I like it
Also anyone else catch the Corolla Levin coupe (ae86)?
would love to see a WRC car try this for comparison
That will break instantly
Even the old cars are smiling, getting to relive the good all days.
My kingdom for an lsd. A locking diff of sorts would also be great....🤪
Also, the escorts seemed to do well in the mud track, like they've done it before!

Досмотрел до конца.😅
Am I the only one who's bouncing up & down watching this?
Nope, fews others doing it too 😂
Did the Mk2 roll over? :'(
damn this looks interesting! ya all gott weird motorsport like we do here in Estonia haha :D
5:34 WHAT!!!????? AE86 LEVIN WITH A FORD BADGE??
Love the mk1 escorts, especially the white one, reminds me of scalextric as a kid.👍
I didn't know Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had a welded diff.
the VW bugs do not seem to have the Torsen differentials that they used to have
american motorsports: it rained so we postponed the race
european motorsports: take your shit up this ravine and bring a passenger so they can bounce for traction
Never heard of the gambler 500, eh?
4:05 The headbanging is just phenomenal .
The ole green bug (@55sec) made it look easy. 🐛
From high-school physics I would have to say that the best strategy is to stay on the power as much as possible without spinning the wheels
so has the road quality improved since 2013 or you need an off-road vehicle to get to grocery store?
Oh my goodness, This looks like SO MUCH FUN!!!
5:33 ah nice to see a corolla being considered a classic (which explains why is so expensive now a days)
wait why does it have a blue oval badge? did ford sell a corolla as a re badge ford for Europe?
Probably stuck on there to fuck with the purists or smth lmao
@@possibly8180 Right six months later and I figured it out. The badge actually did came with the car as it was sold to substitute a ford car. A car in which I don't know the name of but the engine is said to not be the sport dohc 1.6 litre but the economy sohc engine
Edit: the one in the video is probably swapped hence why it sounds so sporty
This is like the road to our cabin we had when i was a child. The family volvo 245 made it up the mountain every summer like it was nothing😂
Wait why are those old luxury British cars hitting a rev limiter?
That Suzuki X-90 @4:48 probably had 4WD option, I guess it wasn't allowed to use it though as only the rear wheels were spinning?
Quite a few X90s are just 2wd.
@@thebubaloomonkey I couldn't imagine going to the dealership and tellIng them I wanted a two-wheel drive x90 back in 1996. They were so ugly, four-wheel drive was the only thing they had going for them.
Surprised no Hillman Imps, maybe coz of cooling issues? Do the unsuccessful cars generally roll back down to the bottom?
reverse back down, Imps are used very successfully. Just not one entered on this event this time round
That rock right on the corner screwed a lot of the drivers over, 99% of drivers who went wide of it got to the top. Loved the bouncing 😁
It looks like few of these cars unfortunately crashed or even rolled while attempting, why did you cut that out?
There was no crashes, slow speed event, not like rallying. These are really enjoyable events.
Great Video - especially as you make it look as tho we cleaned it(car 08 green beetle). I agree, it looks nothing on here compared to how steep it really is!
This needs to be named Mr. Toad's Wild Rally.

Keep the good work up..
Simon a Brit in Spain 👍
Skoda 120! 👍
The British really have the most interesting motorsports, especially when it comes to oldschool/style motorsport
Looks really fun! But why don't any of them have a limited slip diff, save the one wheel spinning where there is no traction?
An ESCORT well driven is amazing!
The Beetle with its weight distribution is almost 4WD!
How does weight distribution give the front wheels power? Am I missing something?
@@ItzJigz187 In my knowledge, I am not a car engineer, the weight of the engine sitting far back on the VW plus the independent suspension help the Beetle on traction and no, the Bettle is rear wheel drive not front wheel drive.
Only some Porsches are 4 wheel drive.
This terrain is relentless, but so are we. Offroading is where we test our mettle against nature's might.

Wow I really really luv this guys keep it alive
1:59 my uncle on Sundays going to the pub
I would have thought the Skodas and the bugs would have done better having the engine & gearbox over the back axel. Loved seeing MK1 & MK2 Escorts. I had so many of them.
I wish this was a hour longer
There are plenty more videos 👍
@@190VAF thanks I'll check them out
I’d love to try that with my stock ‘86 Tercel 4WD wagon.
The trick seems to have front wheels up and let the rear do the job.
I wonder if any of those cars had a dry sump system.
yep, they can be added to save ground clearance 👍
I wanna do this in an old ww2 army jeep, looks like a lot of fun
Hill Climb Racing graphics gets better and better
Anyone notice that after 9:15 min that when that car almost roll, the video is cut off and continued, but after that happened on the far left of the video is a windscreen laying around what was not there before, did that car really roll? Hope not! 😢
Can't believe that bug made it up with rwd and an open(possibly limited slip) diff!
What happened after 4:45s wheelie?
What kind of bellows mechanism are the passengers operating with their backsides?
They do this in open cars without a roll bar/cage?!
I was just doing this on GTA5 tonight except it was in an orange lowered Dodge Charger type car. lol
I was doing same recently, but with truck and trailer with logs in FiveM (took a wrong turn out of sawmill).

Doing this in an open top car is absolute insanity!
Is this like really steep rally
Seems like a perfectly reasonable choice of vehicles.
Couple of brave lads there with the front wheel drives!!! 😂. Just a question of the wrong approach, the wrong line, you're screwed!!!
Be better of reversing up there 😂
Forget Pikes Peak, this is where the real action is at.
is that a Radiator challenge ? :P
Nice!
