I wsa always amazed when a pile of scrap was dragged off the track, and half an hour or so later it re-emerges for a later race under it's own steam.... It seems 2 transits and some chain make a semi-decent mackeshift chassis jig to straighten them out a bit.
These videos always explain why it's so hard to find old Jaguars, Daimlers and their Hearse versions for sale. Hurts to watch all these getting destroyed
By the time they're turning up in the banger races, their days on the road are gone. They may look OK when painted for the race, but they'd be a horrendous money pit to try to get back on the road.
They mostly unfit for the road the banger lads just make them look good for the race then they go for scrap so why not have another use and some fun out of the cars
we used to, l know cos my uncle used to do it but l still think it was illegal cos we had to make sure we didnt get spotted by the cops when taking the cars to the races. my cousin did about 10 rolls in a datto while being towed by a valigrunt cos the tow rope got tangled in the front wheel
I don't think these guys understand that they are risking getting a long term, debilitating back or neck injury that could derail the rest of their lives. Constant pain is a horrible thing. ....It's all fun and games, until it isn't!
I used to Race Bangers in Cornwall & it was great fun & I'm ex Army) but if everybody lived like you, wrapped in Cotton Wool & crying over spilt Milk the World would be a miserable place, all work & no fun. Live for f**ks sake.
This looks like more fun than American demolition derby where they use about 1/4 of the track wet it down and back into everybody. This would have me on the edge of my seat cheering. I wish we could get this here.
They would be all okay cuz they have helmet and lots more to make sure they don’t get hurt but sometimes u can get hurt t by filling over and breaking ur leg or thumb
@@jonathanmuller7815 Depends. Usually the earlier heats in a meeting are a genuine race with 20 laps (on a standard short oval) The final is still a race, OR last man running. Last race of the evening would be the demolition derby, last car running.
They fit a very strong cage around the driver to protect him, the rest of the car is stripped out. So they fold easily, but the driver is in a strong metal cage.
Australian watching, questions, what's with the " Train Rearend hits" and why now and then you see a car going against the traffic, also, one last question, Why the complete disregard for Human life? Lol
I'm trying to understand the concept. Why would you wreck your car into the back of a car that is clearly already disabled and out of the race ?. Can someone please explain ? What am I missing ? If it's just the cool factor. All be it cool. It's kinda stupid to take yourself out. Unless there is something to gain.
I love stuff like this i could watch all day long but these speeds are to high! There has got to be several drivers injured in every race. Lot of ppl missing work ths next day for sure. Id hate to see someone get killed. 😢
All i know is I'm bloody glad I moved as quick as I did in that Aldershot Hearse shot, the roof landed right where i was standing before that shot
Would have been your forehead
I find it amazing how quickly some of these cars get DESTROYED then come back to life for the next race
Always amazes me that the engines stay put and keep running after hits like those.

Boogie and runa always entertaining
Gamest crashes out there to date mate in my opinion 👍🏻
@@Realdealbkb92 💯 them and jonesy for me
@@NemesisGrowz 💯 agree let’s not forget Riley’s lot the bears
@teddybuur ʕꈍᴥꈍʔ 252 and 262 blue cars
some brutal hits there
I've watched these banger races all weekend. I just can't get enough of that mayham!!!
i think ive found my favorite thing to watch with my dad when were drinking. wreckfest IRL
love banger racing
That first hit was personal😅
Pausing video at 9:40 - I've never seen a banger get that high in the air.
mexican wave of bangers
yes you have,
right before you went back to pause the video at 9:40.
that was insane man lol
That's what she said.
The "Purge" of car racing, brutal!
7:39 is exactly why you should be wearing head and eye protection while marshaling on the outside of the track...
Wreckfest eat your heart out
Wreckfest was inspired by this one of the race tracks on the game is a replica of arena Essex
Banger racing is just Wreckfest IRL
Cool to watch though
My grown up Autistic son would live watching these races but unfortunately we don't have them here in Aus
we used to, l know cos my uncle used to do it but l still think it was illegal cos we had to make sure we didnt get spotted by the cops when taking the cars to the races.
my cousin did about 10 rolls in a datto while being towed by a valigrunt cos the tow rope got tangled in the front wheel
That friggin crazy hope nobody got seriously hurt
Can't wait till the kids get to do this with their Tesla's
Would love to see how a tesla with a 2.9 in it would fair tbh 😂😂😂
it'd probably explode...
Can’t wait to see the future when we do this with electric cars
😂😂😂😂
Why wait? They’re all so crap might as well start now!

Man seeing some of those cars accordion makes me wonder if people got hurt lol

Those cars fold like lawn chairs!
How in thee hell do these guys walk away from some of those hits, holy shit dude. Like these things fold faster than tacos with the guys still in em
The cars are modified so they fold up.
the cars are designed to fold massively so the force of impact would be distributed towards the car and less of the driver ver👍
I don’t understand why they hit hard don’t they get hurt
This has to be the most dangerous sport
Nope try the TT.
surprisingly no
Thabks for uploading these mate!
Where is the best place to get information on where I could find a banger race close to me? Cheers 👌
Try typing in spedeworth.They have a fixture list online.Also trackstar.There the two main promotors in the uk.
Depends on what part of the country you're in mate.
I mean they are coming full board at you
I have a whole new respect for you folks. Our demo races here in the U.S. Are pretty lame and tame.
America is all about the show and the razzle dazzle in the uk and others in Europe we just get on and raise as much hell as possible lol
Is there no prize for the winner? Can’t say I get it
Some go to win,some go to wreck.Normally 15 laps winner gets a trophy and a little prize money.There are also trophys for best entertainer.
@@D...Charger seems strange. Over here if we’re doing a demo derby we just call it that so nobody gets confused about what we’re doing
What is the actual goal of this sport? Do they have to win a race or just survive😅
Just survive 😂
@@jonathanmuller7815 I see. 😆
I've watched a couple of these videos and it still doesn't make sense to me
Win races by surviving 😅
@@jonathanmuller7815 Depends. Usually the earlier heats in a meeting are a genuine race with 20 laps (on a standard short oval) The final is still a race, OR last man running.

What is this filmed on? Phone or Camera?
If you think it’s a phone I’m insulted!
What camera is it?@@sjbangervideos
Its steady
Whats the point of this "race"? I don't get it..
thats european Euro NCAP crashtest program, thats how they test theit cars for safty...lol
i have always liked Banger Racing use to go down Wimbledon alot , but sometimes your a sitting duck when another car ploughs into you
😂 BRAMPTON Ontario Canada. New Delhi 😂😂😂😂
Wreckfest
how do more people not die at these things?

Because its fun
Sometimes folk are settling scores.
@@cogboy302 That's not a Folk. That's a Fool.
i think sometimes people end up destroying their steering and overshooting the turn.
there are teams too, so, you could help one of your winning cars
I love stuff like this i could watch all day long but these speeds are to high! There has got to be several drivers injured in every race. Lot of ppl missing work ths next day for sure. Id hate to see someone get killed. 😢
How are ppl now killed?
Well engineered cars
@6:12 😂😂😂
Why intentionally put yourself out?
Because its fun
@@davebrown9707 but isn't the winner the last one going ?
@@user-KrackerJack I dont think anyone really cares who wins they just smash fuck out of each other for a laugh
All crash......
This is a dying sport. Can’t do that with modern cars.
electric sh1t can't be banged
They said that 50 years ago .
Some cars are only 10 years old , plenty of donors about
Can always make new ones from old parts
