A youth of 16 can ride as an adult and a Youth C could ride as a Youth B. It all depends on the date of your birthday. Below is TSR1 extracted from the ACU handbook.

a) Adult riders: A rider must be at least 16 years of age to participate as an Adult.

c) Youth Riders: A rider must be at least 4 years of age to participate on an Electric powered machine and 6 years of age to participate in a trial using a combustion engine machine. After their 16th birthday a rider may compete as an Adult or as an A Class Youth until the end of the calendar year that they reach 17yrs and may alternate (an event to event basis) between Youth and Adult classes subject to the following:
- whilst riding as an A Class Youth the rider is restricted to machines of an A Class Youth
