The first 65 crews of the 2012 Winter Trial have been scrutineered in windy Noorwijk. Some 25 crews got fresh Vredestein Winter Tyres and most crews kept hanging around as if this was another reunion. The roadbooks were handed out, in the space age building of sponsor Decos and for the navigators this is the official start of the rally. They received the route books and can now start to plot the route.

All competitors were quite surprised to receive a set of GEOX rally shoes, the same shoes worn by Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. They also received a Winter Trial Classic, a limited edition Gant jacket. Just another three weeks and we are ready to start.

Our newest event is the Africa Safari Rally. Start in Capetown on November 10, will bring the participants along the highlights of Namibie, Botswana and South Africa. A once in a lifetime experience. Interested? Ask the complete folder. Just mail us at info@thetrial.nl or go and see our website.
