I'm not having a dig here, just asking a question that i've offten pondered.... why do banger racers paint the cars they are racing?
I could see the appeal more if the cars looked standardish and less like a childs first experiment with poster paints!!

Must admit I've wondered that, seems like a bit of a waste of time when it gets smashed to bits soon after. I can sort of understand it when they're covered in sponsorship but to do it off your own back just seems a bit odd.

shame to see such a fine wagon get cained but if it was rotten then fair enough.
i am however glad to see those horrendous wheels in the ring! they look like absolutly dreadful.
random question that i have always wonderd, but does it not hurt crashing your car time and time again? i realise you have all the safety gear but i can imagine you still come away with atleast bruises.

Now there is an advert for the safety of Cressidas,.. that seems to have come out pretty well. Particularly if it can be raced again... "Nothing better".. I don't know about that  |

Get the Granada painted. It looks a bit scruffy as it is.
Let's see some more of your cars too.

www.atozofbangerracing.co.ukOn the left theres a scrollable A to Z list of cars used on the oval. If, like me, you don't really know anything about banger racing then I promise you that by the time you get to B you will be astonished by what gets gobbled up on UK banger tracks. Not trying to depress everyone, I just found it an eye-opener, I'm one of those people that HAS to know, even if I'm not gonna like it!

Okay, I know that paint hides a multitude of sins (and that that p1800 was probably rotten) but some of the stuff flattened in there beggars belief.
The Amazons looked pretty straight, apart from the green\ white one at the top.
I know back in the 80's a 356 B or C was raced.
but...
A Renault Fregate (rare as poor quality wobbly children's play pony curse word)
A 600 Grosser?
A Mulsanne Turbo?
Seriously what are these guys on?
Funnily enough the stolen Plymouth Satellite Wagon and the SSS coupe didn't appear did they? How strange.
Bloke with the Cressida and Roman Gold Mk 1 - you're on a wind up, I hope......
For the love of god, if you HAVE to race an Amazon \ Fregate \ whatever, could you PLEASE offer some of the brightwork \ wings etc up on here? Would probably make you a few quid.
