Spedeworth Bangers are designed to be cheaper and simpler to prepare than their National Banger cousins, but the drivers will tell you they are no less fun to race.

The Banger formula is designed to tempt you, the spectator off the terrace and onto the track.

The cost and preparation are kept to a minimum in the Bangers. The cars used are all generally standard cars, with the radiator being kept within the engine bay, although there is still enough contact to keep the spectator interested!

Equally entertaining and interesting is the type of car that is used in this formula, where cars considered useless are resurrected and brought back into service.

So, why not give it a go and get that "old banger" off your front garden...!

The biggest race of the year for the Bangers is the World Championship which is held at Foxhall Heath Stadium, Ipswich in November!

We also run a 'Back to Basics' version of the formula at selected meetings across our family of Spedeworth/Incarace tracks. Rules are available via the 'Drivers Rules' section of the website.

Full attendance points can only be scored if the driver has booked in advance for the meeting and the booking is accepted during office hours – Monday-Thursday 9am to 5pm & Friday 9am to 1pm. A driver turning up without booking in will score only 5 attendance points irrespective of the announced number of attendance points allocated to the event.

Points Deductions

Drivers booking-in for any Banger meeting, failing to cancel, and not showing up, will have the relevant points for that meeting deducted from their total – i.e. if they would have scored 10 points for being at that event they would have 10 points deducted. Drivers who attend without booking-in receive half the allocated attendance points.

The top 19/24 Spedeworth / Incarace registered drivers will qualify for the World Final. The five extra spaces depend on the uptake on the five cash for card meetings.
