Unlimited Banger Driver Handout
Introduction
The King’s Lynn 2022 Banger racing season starts with a bang - Icebreaker XXVIII, the 28th running of the legendary team event on Sunday 23 January (12 noon).
The prestigious Unlimited Bangers British Open teams of four championship returns, a star-studded entry once again anticipated, with the Sports biggest names already expressing interest in taking part. The Icebreaker was sorely missed in 2021 due to the Pandemic, the 2020 staging returning to the glory days of the event. 2022 looks to bring this back - the biggest, best and hardest hitting teams – you do not want to miss this.
Races will see pile ups, cars roll over, big wrecks - you name it as Europe's most entertaining form of motorsport will deliver more crashes and overtaking on one lap than an F1 Grand Prix will deliver all race! The day ends with the famous Destruction Derby where there can only be one winner - and that will be the last car which can move under its own power after obliterating the opposition!
Non stop entertainment for all the family - an event not to be missed.
There are 145 Unlimited Bangers (40 teams) booked in to race.
The pit gate will open for competitors at 9am, the gates for ticket holders will open at 10am. If purchased advance tickets, please have your e-ticket confirmation ready, either on your phone or printed. The drivers entrance gate is for competitors only, there is no pedestrian access at this gate.
The arena boasts great viewing all around (plenty of under cover viewing too!), FREE on site and overflow parking, disabled viewing, licensed bars, ample food outlets and other great facilities.
A small amount of food and drink can be brought with you into the stadium; alcohol, glass and coolboxes are not permitted. Thank you.
Covid19 update: Following Government announcement in relation to Covid19 protocols, we have received guidance from our local authorities. Please be advised that face coverings are now required in indoor communal areas i.e. the toilet areas of the stadium. Bar and catering areas face coverings are recommended. If you would prefer to wear a mask, please do so. Thank you for your co-operation.
We hope your enjoy your afternoon with Trackstar at King's Lynn.
Preview:
The Icebreaker event is a staple event of the Banger racing calendar, first staged in 1994 and held annually since, bar 2021 where the pandemic put the stopper on that one. However – it’s back and bigger than ever; the biggest and best Banger drivers from across the Country are heading to Saddlebow road.
The entrants will be split and the teams race in a series of Heat races before taking on the Icebreaker Championship final; ending the day with a Destruction Derby – last car running wins! There will be two points charts; one for the point scorers for their race finishes – points are only available to the top three positions in each race, so drivers need to make their races count! The other chart; the Entertainer league, where the more crashing a driver does, the more points that team gets!
Team Extreme have dominated the event in the last three stages, winning the last three and returning a strong “A” and “B” team Sunday afternoon, they are in a solid position to make it four! Team Black though are widely recognised as the team to beat at the minute and of course out in force too. They will be looking to take the fight to them; but despite how strong Team Black are, you need to go back to 2013 to see the last Team Black win in this event.
The Predators are reigning champions in the Entertainers league and field two sides, they will be a force to be reckoned with as they do love a crash! The Wrecking Crew could give them a run for their money – the Gladiators Sister team could well be mixing it too! Similarly, TMT love to get in amongst the action, the team clashed with Team Extreme at the War of the Worlds event last Summer, could that spill over into the Icebreaker? The Barton Boys bring three sides at the time of writing and we all know how entertaining that Team can be and are definitely ones to watch!
With so many great teams scheduled there’s so much that could be said about Sunday's event, so many what’s if’s, but keep an eye on Team BRCM and Team D.W.Lakey.O! These drivers don’t visit King’s Lynn often and where these teams are concerned, there could be some fireworks!
Good luck to them all, we’re sure it’s going to be a cracker of an afternoon
