Guideline weight range for this formula is 1100kg – 1560kg on the MOT Brake Weight Chart (ORC National Banger middle weight range)

Regardless of the weight range above, the following cars over 1100kg are NOT allowed in 2L Bangers because of the safety risk associated with their smaller size – Alfa Romeo 33, Austin Maestro, Citroen Xsara/ZX, Daewoo Nexia/Lanos, Fiat Bravo/Brava/Tipo, Ford Escort/Orion, Honda Ballade, Honda Civic Shuttle, Hyundai Accent/Pony, Lada Riva, Mazda 323, Mitsubishi Colt, Mitsubishi Lancer, Morris Ital/Marina, Nissan Sunny/100 NX, Peugeot 206/306, Proton Persona, Renault 19/Megane, Rover 213/216 (Early square model), Rover 25/200, Seat Ibiza/Malaga, Skoda Felicia, Suzuki Baleno, Talbot Horizon/Solara, Vauxhall Astra/Belmont, Volkswagon Golf.

The following cars at the upper end of the weight range are not allowed in 2L Bangers because they are more suitable for Unlimited Banger Racing – Ford Consul/Granada/Scorpio/Zephyr/Zodiac, Mercedes, Toyota Cressida, Volvo 1- Series, 2- Series and 7- Series

Special notes – The only 5 Series BMW which falls into the above weight range and may be used is the early E28 series 518 / 520. Nissan Laurel (C31 and C32 series) may be used but not earlier Datsun Laurel 6 or Datsun 200L. Honda Civic must be 1992 model year or later (EG series onwards) and be 4/5 door models (including Estate/Aerodeck models).

Standard engines – no tuning allowed.

Any car may use a 2 Litre Pinto, Zetec or Duratec engine as long as this is the same size or smaller than the original. Other engine swaps must be from the same manufacturer (e.g. Vauxhall – Vauxhall, Toyota – Toyota etc).

As an experimental idea we WILL be allowing Mk4 Vauxhall Astra (min 1600) and Mk 5/6 Ford Escort (min 1600) at the 2litre Banger NON MONDEO meeting at Kings Lynn on August 2nd, please note this rule will be for Non Mondeo meetings ONLY and not other 2 litre Banger meetings. This will be until further notice.
