----------------------------------
Banger racing is a tarmac, dirt, shale, and chalk track type of motorsport event popular in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands Vehicles are raced against one another, with the winner being the first to the checkered flag after a set number of laps.

Contact to damage an opponent's car is permitted and encouraged within the formula, with cars progressively becoming more damaged throughout an event. Races are held at an oval or tri-oval circuits that are up to 1⁄4 mile (440 yd; 400 m) long; however, on certain occasions, races are held in a figure of eight configurations. Banger racing is often confused with stock car racing, although there are differences between the two, despite often racing at the same tracks.
