Off road

This category includes a variety of events, including Trials, Competitive Safaris and Team Recovery Competitions, all of which take place over difficult terrain and call for specialist vehicles, normally with four-wheel drive.

While each event has its own rules, they are all based on the ability of the specialist vehicle to overcome various obstacles. Off Road Trials are for four - wheel drive and other vehicles designed to cope eith eally rough terrain. However, some trials also included classes for road - taxed vehicles, with sections laid out so as not to cause undue damage.

Some types of event, such as  Competitive Safaris and Hillrallies, are run against the clock, calling for driving skill and vehicle preparation similar to those found in Special Stage Rallies.
