Full contact. All-action. Unmissable racing. The National Bangers are the hardest-hitting formula on the Spedeworth/Incarace ovals resulting in mind boggling action

Far from just some MOT failures with the windows kicked out, it doesn't get any bigger or any better than National Bangers when it comes to thrills, spills and automotive carnage when contact is not only allowed - it is encouraged.

There is nothing like the atmosphere as when the cars enter the arena, with drivers from across the country taking part in events throughout the year. Destroying the opposition is often the name of the game for some drivers, with others choosing to weave between the chaos to win the race!

National Bangers come in all shapes and sizes, with different events featuring different classes. With everything from team events to the ever-popular Unlimited CC racing and from the pocket-sized Micro Madness to 'Big Vans' - National Banger Racing spans all automotive areas.

The biggest night of the year is at Foxhall Stadium, where the traditional National Banger World Final takes place at the Ipswich venue in October.

2026 will see the continuation of the popular National Banger World Series (BWS) with each round providing top quality full contact racing - the prize at each round for one lucky driver being a place on the grid for the National Banger World Final at Ipswich in October!

This is not a formula to be missed: follow-ins, wrecking trains and destruction is the order of the day when the National Banger men and women come to town.

The road to the prestigious Championship of the World runs throughout the season. Details can be found below:-
