The 1982 Victorian Trials Championship was closely fought with at least seven different winners across eight rounds! (We don’t have results for Round 6).

The main contenders were Bob Waterhouse and Paul Paterson, who emerged victorious, from Brian Smith and Peter Mignot, and Garry Harrowfield with Ian Ellis. Smith and Mignot won the Grade 2 Award narrowly from Barry Thompson and Keith Siler, who convincingly won the Clubman Award.

Series Regulations

These were specified in Section 6B of the 1981 Victorian Addendum to the Australian Rally Code.

This was the second year of the revived Victorian Trials Championship.

Awards were made for outright champions, Grade 2 (non Grade 1, so Grade 3 and 4 could score points also) and Clubman (Grades 3 and 4 only).

In each division points were allocated 9-6-4-3-2-1 for first to sixth with the best five results to count.
