No, a One Event National Competition Licence is no longer available for this event. This is a Motorcycling Australia requirement. To ride the Trial, you must hold either a current Motorcycling Australia Senior National Licence or FIM Annual Licence. See Supp Regs for details.
No, due to increased entries in the full trial, this is no longer an option.
Up until 2021, a non-competitive class that allowed riding of laps one and four on a recreational licence, was offered. Previous versions of this were known as the ‘Trail’ or ‘Touring’ section which included 12 or 24 hour classes with some of the course slightly modified to be easier.
Although rally is no longer offered, 6-hour reliability trials are run as part of the South Australian Reliability Trials (SART) Championship series. Many of those who compete in the 24 Hour Trial, also take part in the SART series.
If you would like to try out reliability trial for the first time, and are not sure about doing a full 24 hours, we recommend giving a 6-hour reliability trial a try.
