A Woori Yallock property hosted one of the Observed Section Trial (OST) races on Sunday 18 May which saw contenders compete in muddy conditions.
Racer Greg Cox came out victorious against the ten competitors over 11 different sections for the day as the rainy conditions ensured the race stayed true to its muddy reputation.
It was a chaotic race as one car failed to finish after it broke down while another suffered from mechanical issues, though it managed to make it over the finish line.
The Historic Winton is an iconic motorsport meeting that takes place at the Winton Motor Raceway on the last weekend of May every year, and this year the classic cars used for this sport will be on display.

It’s an overland/cross country race commonly referred to as a mud trial due to contenders being caked in mud by the end of the race.
