WHAT IS BANGER RACING? Banger racing is a unique and very popular form of racing on many UK and some European short ovals. Whenever anyone experiences a Banger race for the first time the whole affair really seems quite unbelievable and very difficult to fathom out! This is essentially because the participants fall into two distinct categories. First there are the racers, the guys (& gals) who race to win, or at least they start the race with the object of winning! The second type of driver is the wrecker, i.e. he who has no intention of winning but every intention of causing as much havoc as possible. It is all very unpredictable - and highly entertaining - because any particular driver may start some races as a wrecker and others as a racer! The effect is that some Banger races can turn out very much as - races - with others becoming wrecking frenzies.
