Bangers
As the name suggests, Banger Racing is a full contact, crushing formula. This is the last stop on the line that leads to the car crusher for somebody's one time pride and joy, which has just failed the dreaded MOT test. Needless to say this is not just a contact formula but destruction is actively encouraged. Cars race, crash and are regularly destroyed. Indeed destroying the opposition is often the preferred objective rather than just winning the race you have entered.
Trackstar run several classes of Bangers.
The big league spectacular Unlimited Bangers are a popular part of the scene with the high powered Ford Granadas taking on the Jaguars, big Datsuns, Rovers and various other "material" on a grand scale.
Most Banger Racing though is in the limited range with an engine limit of 2000cc. Just as spactacular as the Unlimiteds but easier for the drivers to obtain and transport. (No Granadas or larger cars in this class). The most popular cars in the 2Ls are the Ford Mondeos although a variety of cars can be used.
The 1500 Bangers see drivers race full contact Bangers in the smaller cars whilst Micro Bangers allow the smaller cars to be utilised. Many Banger meetings end with a Destruction Derby where the winner is the last car moving which is always popular.
We also run novelty events including Reliant Robins, Large Vans, Siamese Bangers (one on top of another!) and more!
