British Banger Racing.

British Banger Racing is a sort of combination of short dirt track racing and a demolition derby.  They race everything from Minis to Rolls Royces to big old American iron.




Among the heavier classes, the cars of choice seem to be American cars, limos, hearses and their British equivalents.  I've also selected "before" pictures in most cases since the object of the race is to destroy the car.  The "after" pictures are too depressing. 










Before...

...After

You can read more about Banger Racing here, but it's far more fun to watch it in action.  Here are a couple of videos for you to either enjoy, or cringe at.

  4. Great read! I’ve always known tyre maintenance was important, but I didn’t realise just how much it affects braking and safety during wet weather. Thanks for breaking it down in such a simple way. I recently sold my old vehicle through a local service that offers cash for cars Caboolture, and reading this reminded me how worn the tyres had gotten definitely something I’ll keep an eye on with my next car.

  5. I really enjoyed reading this blog—it's eye-opening to see how much of a difference car recycling makes in terms of reducing waste and saving resources. It’s something we often overlook, especially when dealing with old vehicles. If you’re exploring more on this topic, this post about Cash For Scrap Cars Gold Coast ties in nicely with the recycling and reuse theme.

  6. Really enjoyed reading this piece on British banger racing—such a gritty, nostalgic look at a sport that doesn’t get enough spotlight. It’s fascinating how these old cars get a second life on the track before being scrapped. It actually reminded me of the services we have today like cash for broken cars Sydney where vehicles beyond repair can still be put to good use or recycled responsibly. Great read!
