Re-live the action from 1947
By 1947 certainly the Light Car Club and the Victorian Sporting Car Club were conducting a number of trials. Most continued to be run in daylight and results were often determined by times of special tests or sub-events. More challenging events began to emerge and the Light Car Club ran its first Experts Trial. The Western District Car Club was formed and began to run trials.
We don’t have much information on events in 1947. If you have any information, please let us know!
The Light Car Club ran the first Experts Trial which was won by W. Luxton in a Wolseley.
The Victorian Sporting Car Club ran a reliability trial over the weekend of November 8th and 9th from Melbourne to Phillip Island and back. The winner was Mrs. P. McCutcheon, navigated by her husband, Paul McCutcheon, in a Ford V8.
Several clubs were active running trials and rallies, particularly the Light Car Club and the Victorian Sporting Car Club, but we have no details of close/club events conducted.
We do not yet have a calendar of events from this year.
