CCVT stands for Cross Country Vehicle Trial. This event is similar to the RTV but the courses are far more demanding on both the driver and the vehicle. Most of the CCVT vehicles are not road registered and all must follow strict rules laid down by the Association of Rover Clubs. The main alteration to a standard vehicle would be the addition of a roll cage which is required due to the nature of the competition. Tyres tend to be aggressive mud patterns with Mud Pluggers and Diamonds both being popular choices.
How does the event work?
Each event will consist of 12 sections. Each section is made up from gates formed by two canes. The gates are numbered in a descending order from 12 to 1. The driver must start from the 12 gate and then follow a defined path from gate to gate without stopping or touching any of the canes. If the vehicle stops the driver gets penalty points which corresponds to the value of the next gate. If the vehicle touches a cane then the penalty value is the same as that gate number. The winner is the person who after driving all of the sections has the lowest amount of penalty points.
The most widely know CCVT is the 2 day Major's Memorial Trial which takes place at Eastnor Castle each year.
