The Western Lion Trial, organised by the Peugeot Car Club of Victoria, was held on December 3. Directed by Graham Wallis and Nick Wright, the Western Lion Trial was initially only the final round of the Western Region Trial Series but was added to the Victorian Trials Championship (Series) after the cancellation of the Summer Safari.
