The Main Event

Embark on a muddy and marvellous adventure with a Sporting Trials Car Introductory Experience in Kent, the perfect gift for motor enthusiasts or anyone craving a unique day out! 

Known as "Mud Plugging," this exhilarating motor sport combines skill, coordination, and a touch of daring as you take on steep slopes, tight turns, and undulating terrain in a specially designed Trials Car. This shared session promises fun, camaraderie, and plenty of laughs as you embrace the challenge together.

This 1 ½ hour adventure begins with a safety briefing and introduction to the fascinating history of Sporting Trials, one of the oldest recognised motor sports in the UK. Guided by an experienced instructor, you’ll learn the art of keeping the car in constant forward motion, discovering that it’s not about speed but finesse and control. With your instructor beside you, you’ll soon find yourself tackling seemingly impossible climbs, feeling the thrill of victory as the Trials Car takes you further up the slippery slope than you thought possible.

This experience is designed to shine under wet and muddy conditions, making it the ultimate winter sport for thrill-seekers. The Trials Car’s incredible capabilities make navigating challenging terrain not just achievable but immensely satisfying. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned motor sports fan, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you pick up the skills to master the mud.

Suitable for participants aged 11 and up, this experience has no height restriction and accommodates individuals weighing up to 20 stone. Available most Saturdays throughout the year, it’s an unforgettable gift or an ideal way to spend time with friends and family.
