    This is basically what NASCAR was back in the 1940s and 1950s, and it was awesome.
    I love the brash, cheesy, graffiti-style graphics on these cars too. I wish we had this kind of stuff in the US (unless it exists and I just don't know the name for it), unfortunately it seems like this is really just a UK/Netherlands thing.

      @mistie710 5 років тому +7

      Reliant racing started many years ago at Mildenhall as one of the first true original formulas run by RDC but given the unusual nature of the cars and the way these races ran, many promotions took it up. Promotasport raced the formula at Arena Essex during the Firecracker one year as a replacement for one of the stock car formulas they used and it was so popular, well why not?

    Always interesting to see what cars make it to these races. Never once thought I'd see a Rolls Royce but I guess banger racing is where cars go to go out in a blaze of fender ripping, metal crunching, fast paced glory.

      @mistie710 2 роки тому

      Hardly the first time that rollers raced at Arena. There was one year when the meeting opened with and all Rolls race! But then that was the point of the Firecracker - we had some pretty unusual and pretty ancient cars destroyed for our audience's pleasure over the years. And even though Arena Essex is no longer with us, you can find similar meetings around the banger racing world to this day! - CJ PRI

Like they are like a sliver from death, they are basically trying to kill each other and when the day of death comes apron these drivers one day I will be happy so it will strike fear into all the banger racing drivers and kill the sport. And back to F1, IF YOU ACTUALLY FREAKING WATCH F1 YOU WILL UNDERSTAND OF JUST HOW ENTERTAINING IT IS, AND NOT THINK OF IT AS A “boring rich man sport” AND IN THIS SPORT YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE A PRETTY BIG WAD OF MONEY TO ENTER IN THE COMPETITION, SO TRY IT BEFORE YOU SAY YOU DONT LIKE IT!

      1974-76 Cadillac Sedan Deville. It's a 5400 pound full frame rear wheel drive car. I've raced five of them here in Detroit area demolition derbies. Too much fun.

    People should be able to do what they wish but destroying some of the most crafted cars that no one could by new should at least think that there destroying some very stunning cars and also wasting good parts, just saddens me.

      I don't know where you're from, but from what I understand once the licensing group in the UK deems them unfit for the road, they have no value. So it's either the crusher, or this THEN the crusher. Although over here in the US we would take some of those cars and use them for some kind of project.

      As a day job a rebuild older cars, and Mot cars I'm much aware tat most car races are of very good condition, let's take the mk3 Scorpio, they are some of the most rare cars and I have had the privilege of working and owning them and seams to be hat when one is sold from a loving owner there fate is allredy set for racing sim still have meny months MOT on them, talking from vast experance over 80% are still very practical cars still fit for the uk roads, this tell me that your comment dose not ring true,
      As I said I'm open for people to do what they wish but Bering in mind that a good car should be saved as most would under stand there rarity is more important than distorting a good car,
      But if they do any parts shold be saved, again I help strip car for racing but parts are sold to keep others going,
      And if they are unfit it does not take much to make fit,

      Just waiting for you! And though Arena Essex, the circuit in this video, is no more (it closed at the end of 2018), there are plenty of circuits in the UK and elsewhere that still go at it. If you know where to look, there's a meeting every weekend more or less!
