About Us - What we do...

The Anglian Rover Owners' Club is an off road club which holds competitions in your area at least once a month. Any make of 4x4 vehicle is welcome and you do not need to be an off road expert to take part. The events take place on privately owned land and are covered by MSA (Motor Sports Association) permits. The sites are located in Northants, Herts, Beds and Bucks.

Non-timed events
RTV, CCVT and Family Vehicle Trials

These events are not timed competitions, but are meant to test the drivers' skills. A course is laid out by pairs of canes, called gates, which are numbered. Only one 4x4 is allowed on the course at a time. Vehicles try to complete the course by passing through the gates sequentially from highest to the lowest value. If a car touches a cane or lacks forward motion, penalty points will be given according to the number on the cane. The driver with the least amount of penalty points at the end of the day wins the competition. Although these events are held as competitions, it is always the "having fun" that counts.


Family Vehicle Trials (FVT)

This type of event is none damaging for any road going 4x4 and is held at least twice a year. Have some fun in your every-day 4x4! The organisers are aware that these vehicles may be fitted with front spoilers, side steps and tow bars. This is taken into consideration when the courses are layed out
