Historic Sporting Trials Association
Many Historic Sports Car Club members have historic Trials cars in which they enjoy competing. The primary aim of the Historic Sporting Trials movement is to provide suitable events, organised by MSUK recognised clubs, in which the sporting trial cars of the 1960’s and middle 1970’s can compete. The observed sections are designed to suit the earlier Historic Class cars equipped with fiddle brakes.
Many competitors have already registered with Purple Lap but if you are one that has not, please do so as soon as possible. Once registered entries to our trials are so much easier – let me know if you want help.

Recent training days
We have had two recent training days. One was held by Ian Wright at his premises where a couple of potential new drivers took part which is good news. The other was by Jerome Fack who in conjunction with his brother Julian and the BTRDA ran a session at Long Compton . The training was filmed by a crew from Motorsport UK with the aim of encouraging new people to take up sporting trials. It will be very interesting to see the finished product.
Dates for 2025
We are already being asked for our 2025 dates. Unfortunately we have to wait for the race and other sporting trial calendars to be published so we do not clash. As soon as we know anything we will circulate it.
The MSUK Historic Sporting Trials Formula requires the cars should be similar to the cars used in period and defines specific requirements of vehicles which are eligible to compete in Historic Sporting Trials.
Motorsport UK has recently changed the licensing requirements for all competitors on Trials and other non-speed events and applications are now being accepted for these new licences. These Competition Licences are free, mandatory and issued by our governing body.
