Richmond Motor Club would like to give their congratulations to Dougie Lampkin for winning this year’s Scott Trial, in very wet conditions!

Provisional results are available to download here:

2018 Special Awards                2018 Spoons and Final Results

A full set of results will be available as soon as possible.

As always we would like to thank all those who made this year’s trial happen – too many to mention – but especially the landowners without who’s permission we couldn’t run the greatest one day trial in the world and the observers who stood out in such atrocious weather! The results team had a tricky time this year with very wet books and stuck together pages, thank goodness waterproof paper was invented!!  Special thanks must also go to all the riders and supporters who make the trial such a great event and help us to raise so much money each year for the Scott Charities.

With just under 3 weeks to go, Scott Preparations are well on the way, especially as the trial is a week earlier this year (13^th October 2018).  Once again we are not emailing out the numbers and final instructions this year, but you can download a list here:  2018 Scott Trial Rider Numbers and Times  Please take a good look at the list of riders, numbers and start times to make sure that you know what time you are setting off and to get the right number on your petrol cans.

Also please make sure that you read the Final Instructions – this is very important as there is essential information to make sure that you know exactly what is expected on the day etc, and they have changed from previous years.  When signing on you will be asked to sign saying that you have read and agree to these instructions:  Scott Trial Final instructions 2018

Finally don’t forget that the Official Scott Trial Programme will be available on Saturday 29^th September so make sure you get yours (riders you will get one in your rider pack on the day).  It contains loads of great articles, spectator information and maps of where to go to get the best out of your day and all proceeds will go to The Scott Charities as usual.

The programmes will be available at the start-field on the day and from the usual local outlets prior to the event. These include: Richmond Petrol Stations; CJ Tennant, Richmond; Neeps & Tatties, Richmond; Smith and Allan, Darlington; Piercebridge Farm Shop; AG Bikes, Low Row etc. plus all the usual Reeth outlets. Priced at £5, all profits made from the sales, as usual, will go directly to The Scott Charities.  Not going to be at the start-field or in these towns?

Why not pre-order your copy by post now, the cost is £6.50 including the postage and packing.   This can be done by e-mailing your request to: scotttrial100@gmail.com  Please make the subject line of your e-mail: ‘Scott Trial 2018 Programme Order’; payment details will be made available by e-mail reply.

Now that the closing date for entries has past we can put up a rider list (in alphabetical order).  We have a waiting list so anyone who has a ride and is now unable to take it up, please let us know as soon as possible.  Scott Trial 2018 Enry List – Alphabetical Order

The ballot for rider numbers has taken place and we will be releasing the numbers, start times and final instructions in the next couple of weeks, so please keep an eye on the website for all the important information.

As the countdown shows its now only just over 34 days until this years epic Scott so we hope all the training is going to plan!
