Eurotrial had been known in former times. Competitors came from Germany and France. There were no security restrictions at all and co-driver have been allowed hanging outside the cars to replace the diff-locks

1996 Heinrich Wangler renewed Eurotrial. In “Geilenkirchen” Germany, which is not far from Aachen. He was organizing a Eurotrial in a nice trial- area and several nations came to participate. We remember Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and Finland

1997 Sweden organized the next Eurotrial with nearly the same participating Nations. For the first time the southern country’s had to fight with big rocks and stumps, which where growing bigger after every car. Nevertheless Germany became Eurotrial Champion

1998 Spain was holding this Eurotrial, with complete new driving rules; Co-drivers did not have to be belted and could move around the car.
