AutoSOLO
This simple but challenging test of precision and car control takes place on a sealed surface and involves driving through a course of slalom sections and longer turns, usually marked out by cones. Frantic, but not fast, as the course is mostly taken in first or second gear, with time penalties given for hitting cones
Autotest
This also follows a course of cones on tarmac or grass but includes forward and reverse sections as well as skills such as handbrake turns or J-turns. Participants must memorise several routes and have a few attempts at each, with penalties given for hitting cones, and the winner is the driver with the lowest total time.

“ Tyros are perfect for those looking to use their 4x4 in a family friendly, social environment. You will be met by a group of like-minded, welcoming individuals who all love to take their 4x4s off road on the weekend!”
Andy Tong, Secretary, Buchan Off Road Drivers Club
Car Trial
These involve driving at low speeds through a set of canes over a course of challenging terrain. Typically taking place in a private field, they can be entered by drivers aged 14 and over, and in an everyday road car. Speeds are low, with no time limit to complete the course, and the aim is to get from start to finish without stopping. Some events also allow support from a passenger – known as a bouncer – who can bounce the car up and down to help the car gain traction.

PCA( Production Car Autotest)
This follows the same format and requires the same skills as an Autotest, but in this case it requires a passenger to be onboard. This allows drivers as young as 13 to take part, and the passenger comes in handy, supporting with navigation when the course gets hard to follow.
“ AutoSOLOs are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. You’ ll be amazed how quickly your test times improve on each run- and because it’ s all done at relatively low speeds, with only cones to hit, there’ s nothing to worry about if you’ re a rookie!”
Will Barnes, Chair, Cannock & District Car Club
