Aussie team announced for 2017 Trial des Nations
The six member team, consisting of three men and three women, will be competing in the 'International Trophy' class against the likes of the USA, Germany and the Czech Republic, not the World Championship category of elite trials teams like Spain, Japan and Great Britain.

Women's Team

The men's team is unchanged from last year, while on the women's squad, the new addition is Casey; a talented young Queenslander.
Team Manager is Phil Whittle. While he's set no specific targets for the team this year, Whittle believes they have the potential to do well in their category.
At last year's Trial des Nations, the men's squad finished fifth and the women's team seventh.
