A new formula to allow children as young as eight to enjoy off-road motorsport will be launched next year.
The Junior Trials Vehicle (JTV) was the result of two years' work by the off-road committee of the Motor Sports Council, which wanted a formula to introduce young competitors to trialling.
Their objectives include safety, low cost and accessibility. Various options were considered, from building bespoke vehicles to adapting off-road karts, before the committee opted for a modified Toro Lawn Tractor.
The MSA said it would ensure a vast choice of new and used machines and parts, a stable platform, due to its low centre of gravity, and a low maximum speed.
