1993 Victorian Trials Series

The VTS was made up of map reading events that called on driver, accuracy, consistency and endurance together with navigator map plotting and reading.

The 1993 VTS  was won convincingly by Barry Farnell and Geoff Byron with two wins and two second places from the five rounds. They were unable to compete in the Experts due to organisational duties.

Brian Semmens and Dan Parry, graded as Clubman crews, won both the Grade 2 and Clubman categories, making it an all-Bendigo crews lock out of the major places.
