THE PATHWAY TO AUTOTESTING
What Championships are there?
There are a number of Championships throughout Ireland and Northern Ireland. There are also non-Championship events that take place around the island. These are fun, social and competitive days; perfect for dipping the toe into as your first event! Common to all events is the encouragement, support, advice and tips that are freely shared from organisers, marshals and fellow competitors.
TDC Club & Autotest Championships
The Trials Drivers Club are based in the Leinster area and run a variety of trials events, including beginners Autotests and Multi Venue Autotests, as part of their fun and competitive club championship that is tiered for Beginners / Novices / Semi-Experts and Experts.
Motorsport Ireland National Autotest Series
National level Autotesting events have multiple competitions rolled into one based on competitor skill level, and the type of cars involved. Challenge tests are suitable for roadgoing vehicles and are designed to be more open and flowing. The Championship tests are more suited to specialised lightweight vehicles and are generally tighter and more technical. The "Europa Cup" novice competition also uses the Challenge tests.
