A Production Car Trial (PCT) can best be described as a sporting trial suitable for standard production cars, bringing to the sport a high degree of skill and commitment.

Cars are essentially unmodified but invariably carry ballast to improve the grip of the standard road tyres. However, there is a class for production cars, taxed for the road, and carrying no ballast other than a sump guard. This has become a very popular and competitve class.

Competing on grassy surfaces, cars have to proceed with unassisted forward motion through sections set out on a hillside, placing a premium on the ability to place and drive the car skillfully and accurately whilst retaining grip on a slippery surface.

A passenger must be carried in the front of the car; known as the \"bouncer\" they can provide valuable weight to the driven wheels when called for by the driver.
