How to get started in Sporting Trials

By far the most common way to get started is to turn up at one of the PROMO events. At these events you get one to one tuition on all aspects for the sport, including Driving, Bouncing, and Scoring. The Taranaki club holds two of these events during the year.

Another great way to get involved is to turn up at one of the events and ask at the Sign-On Caravan if you can Bounce (passenger) for someone

or contact one of the people on the website and ask if you can be a Bouncer for someone.

A lot of drivers are requiring Bouncers and if they all have Bouncers it speeds up proceedings.

Often the driver will let the Bouncer drive after they have been to a couple of events and are familiar with the car and the competition format.

Once you have competed in two event you have to join Sporting Trials NZ inc (forms are on the website) or if you are a financial member of another Car Club which is affiliated to MotorSport New Zealand you are not required to join, however if you wish to receive points then you are required to join STNZ.
