Snow, ice, mist,  classic cars, nasty trials, nightloops, fast circuits and an enthusiast, seriously competitive group participants; that means a lot of work for the service teams at the 2016 Wintertrial by Dutch organiser Classic Events; this year the location was Norway, last week of January. We received some interesting pictures from both service teams: Classic Job and Altena.

Although it was not always easy to get all the cars on own wheels at the finish line, it gives some great pictures and even better memories. One of the service team tasks is to pull cars back on the road; like this groundhog eating Yugo Zastava (a Fiat 600 built under licence in former Yugoslavia; now Croatia). Or looking for the remains of a car in the snow, when you only see one wheel. Luckily, it is still possible to have a beer during night time repairs.
 
Not every car was going to make it, but thanks to the service teams most of them did. More to find here at The Winter Trial.
