Ipswich Unlimited Banger World Final 2019

The very entertaining 2019 Unlimited Banger World Final held at Ipswich Stadium. Highlights included the Beasley Brothers turning around and hitting everything, Ace Ash's rampaged in the world final race & dutch driver #777 Hammertime's huge hit on Jamie Warr's yank leaving the latter in a big mess!

[@tomarmstrong4761]

It's always amazing to me as a guy raised on US roundy-rounders to see the detail and preparation put into cars that will be raced one time in Bangers.

[@simonreeves2017]

In the 1970's, Banger Racing was racing. Now it's just a demolition derby.

The Jaguar XF has been on sale since 2007. Given the quality of Jaguar the recent years, it's not a surprise that many are already going to scrap.

[@michaelmartin9022]

I like classic Granada's too, but if everybody whinging here doesn't want to see them on the banger track, get down the scrapyard and buy one before they do. Most of them only look nice because they have fresh paint, they're probably in a horrendous state underneath. Same with the cars they crash in Heartbeat - they look like mint 1960's cars but really they're full of filler and given a quick spray-over.

[@m988022]

I'm confused what is the deal ? Is it a demo derby a race or what ?

[@TUMBLINJEST]

Ok, its a race for drivers that have qualified for over the season in other races, this is the highlight of the years WORLD FINAL.. you build cars to the rule book, get each car scrutineered before the race, then line up in order drawn from "the hat" then from a rolling start have to compete a certain number of laps ON THE TRACK to be given your place results, the winner is then that years world final winner.. Lots of cars have lots of work put into them, also many have race built engines for maximum power, but some just go to wreck "within the rules" anything moving or not.. I done 14 years of it, and loved it.

[@yutufyourselable]

They must locate the circuit next to a recycling point or near an shreder center, in order to be more efficient and ecological. This is a good way to say farewell to all these cars.

Obviously you don’t know there’s drivers who are actually involved in classic cars for a living, so yes you will see them raced but how many stay or are restored for the road by using the parts from donor cars Anyway it was a great meeting seeing 250 plus cars being smashed up last Saturday at Ipswich Roll on next year when we do it all over again

Car insurance writes cars off all the time.Then it becomes scrap. You could say it's recycling.

[@michaelmartin9022]

I live in Japan and here an 11 year old car is considered almost prehistoric. No end of perfectly good ones get scrapped / shipped out to poorer countries in Asia, never mind if the steering wheel's on the wrong side. Maybe Japan ought to have banger racing too!

[@LuckyFish76]

what does unders and overs mean for b2b bangers

Unders means smaller engine cars for example under 2 litre only/under 1600s only, overs mean unlimited bangers (any engine size) and b2b means back to basic which are limited contact and minimal “banger build” required.

@Martyn Watson Always has been Martyn mate.. I raced for PRI for 14 years, and it started off just old bangers but gradually we got to see drivers turning up with cars so new we could only guess where they came from..It was old school still when i walked away In 1986 but even then the paint jobs were good on some out there, but Even I used race built motors (pintos & essex V6) that I built myself, and had a reputation for quite reliable engines..
