Nick Throup has dominated the 2011 season with 5 wins from 7 rounds winning the series from his nearest rival by a whopping 47 points. Nick was looking good for a hat trick of wins when the Robertstown 2 Day Trial had run its course, but brother Sean returned to the Reliability Trials scene claiming the win in his preparation ride to the Swann Insurance 24hr, Nick clocked 4 of the fastest times in the 2 Day Trial finally finishing 4th behind Ryan Featonby and Brendan Roberts.
An impressive ride in the Swann Insurance 24hr also placed him 4th behind his 2 brothers Tristan 3rd & Sean 2nd, who were runners up to the back to back win by New Zealand's Chris Power.
With the return of the Clare Trial in 2011 after an absence of 18 years, Nick already had the series win sealed by round 6, but rode because he loves riding the events. The young gun has shown he can match the pace of SA's best riders.
