Truck Trial
Truck Trial is a motor sport that involves driving trucks, or trucks in difficult terrain. This motor sport originated in the 1980s. You have to maneuver your truck with a lot of skill and ability through the gates set by the organizers. However, these gates are not easy to reach, so it is not made easy for the drivers and their passengers. In the sections that are driven, man and machine are pushed to their limits. The evaluation takes place in different classes.
Truck trial series in Germany
There are currently two truck trial series in Germany, on the one hand the Europe Truck Trail and the International Truck Trial Championship.
Europe Truck Trial
The Europa Truck Trial is an event of the OVS GMBH organization of sporting events. Since 2011, this has also provided a small series - the Nations Cup. However, this did not prevail. In 2012 the prototype classes P1 and P2 were merged to form the prototype class. Since 2013, it is no longer driven in classes, but in categories. Since 2013, there has only been the 2-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis and prototype category.

Classes
The division into classes is mainly based on the criteria track width and wheelbase as well as whether it is a series or near-series vehicles (classes S1 – S5). Vehicles that are not in series or that are close to series are divided into prototype classes P1 and P2.
Standard or near-series
- S1: e.g. B. small Unimog 406 with short wheelbase
- S2: e.g. B. large Unimog 416 with long wheelbase
- S3: e.g. B. IFA W50 LA - large 2-3 axles
- S4: e.g. B. Tatra 813 6x6 - 3 axles
- S5: e.g. B. Tatra 813 8x8 - large 4 axles
Prototypes
- P1: vehicles similar to class S1
- P2: vehicles with larger wheelbases and gauges than P1
Regulations
In the Truck Trail, a course called a section is driven within a specified maximum time limit. In most cases this time is sufficient and will be significantly less.
Individual gates are inserted in the sections, with the left gate pole being marked in white in the direction of travel. The participants can choose their own order of gates in the section and then drive them as flawlessly as possible. The only thing to note is that the entrance gate is used and the section is exited again through the exit gate.
There are penalty points for changing direction of travel, touching the gate poles and the curbs, breaking a gate pole, driving through a gate incorrectly, leaving a gate out and exceeding the time limit. The team in its class with the fewest penalty points at the end of a competition weekend becomes the winner of the run and thus collects championship points.
Summary table of penalty points
