Bangers

Bangers are simply Mardave V12 cars with saloon bodies and the windows cut out.

This is still a fledgling formula at Hathern, but more members are entering Bangers.

It is great formula for the younger racers and is an ideal starting point before progressing to Stock Cars.

There are several heats per night and a Final between the last Stock Car heat and the Stock Car finals.

Unlike Stock cars there is no marshalling, so the skill is to keep your car running as fast as it can, and on its wheels.

Racing is quite rough but friendly, with many drivers willing to help you get back on your wheels, only to bury you at the next corner.

Club Champions are the winner of the Destruction Derby on Club Championship night, and hold the Gold Roof for a year.
