Thank you to all who came to the annual Norman Perren Memorial Trial, your continued support is amazing and it’s always great to catch up with friends old and new to discuss plans for the 2026 motorsport season.
It was a cold and frosty start to the day, with the initial hills catching out a few drivers, but once the sun rose enough the grip levels increased. After 25 hills it was John Peterson who took the overall win in the Citroen Saxo with a very impressive score of just 3 points. Just a single point behind was John Holder in the Cannon, who had to settle for the Class D win, ahead of Tim Hanman in 2nd and Peter Hanman 3rd in class.
Class A honours went to Robin Lines in the VW Polo, ahead of father Dick in 2nd, with Mark Scrogie taking 3rd. In Class B David Holmes in the Seat Ibiza won Class B, Paul Cutting took 2nd and Nick Davey 3rd.
In Class C, Dan Pearson beat father Andrew in mighty Fiat 500.
We had 2 newcomers getting there first taste of trialling. In the end Hayden Bennett just bested Richard Jenkins by 4 points in the Ford Fiesta. It was great watching their scores improve during the day as their experience built.
This was the first event in the AMSC 2026 Trials Challenge, details of the other event can be found at the link below
A special thanks to all the marshals who came and stood out in the cold all day, these events don’t run without you – thank you!
