The 24 trial in Maryborough.

It’s a battle of endurance against the elements.
Success is a mark of craftsmanship and teamwork.

The result may only be worth 50 percent of a team’s total score (learn more about that in the Assessment section here),
but it’s the thrills and spills of wheel-to-wheel racing that keeps many students coming back.

Here’s a slice of history, Overall Line Honours winners from 1991 to today.
