As a committee member of a trials club I can confirm they don't make money and land cost are high north or south doesn't matter. Compared to the majority of motor sports trials is too cheap, not enough left in the pot for training days for the youth riders or throwing more money at potentially new venues. Like others I have done some four wheeled motor sport, only track days with an old BMW, but the average entry fee for an evening track day is circa £150 for effectively 2 - 3 hours on track, that's before trailer purchase or higher, tyres brake pads etc etc. You can do a world class event like the Scott for £30, it's unbelievable and we should all be grateful.
