2019 MICRO BANGERS WORLD FINAL RESULTS

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 22 Nov 2019, 11:55 pm

The last World Final in LFS Bangers saw the little cars turn out at Gizmo's Stadium for their Micro Bangers World Final with 13 drivers in attendance. The meeting saw 675 Beatdrop compete in his first official races, having been unable to race the last meeting due to internet issues. A minor silence was observed exceptionally at the start of the World Final in memory of the late Colin North, who was fatally injured at Birmingham Wheels last Saturday.

With 6 drivers attending who were not on the grid automatically and 4 of those automatic qualifiers not in attendance, no Last Chance Race was held.

The 12 car grid for the 2019 Micro Bangers World Final was therefore as follows (reigning champion denoted by the italic C in gold brackets next to their name):

673 Sam - - - - - - - - - - - - - 870 Looney
606 Jon - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 616 Jam
997 RIk (C) - - - - - - - - - - - - 628 Stwarm
473 Dean - - - - - - - - - - - - - 786 Brett
649 Dumbo - - - - - - - - - - - - 573 Shane
902 Drakey - - - - - - - - - - - - 675 Beatdrop


This World Final became rather straightforward in terms of who came out on top, and it was proof that class is permanent...

2019 MICRO BANGERS WORLD FINAL
1st: Shane
2nd: Rik
3rd: Jam
Other finishers: Sam, Dumbo, Looney, Jon, Dean, Drakey, Brett

The last ever World Champion in LFS Bangers is someone who has held that title before, albeit not in the Micros: two-time 2 Litres World Champion Shane added the Micros title to his collection with a near all-conquering performance.

Jam was the early leader having sneaked down the inside of Sam and Looney at the end of the first lap, but he then ran wide on the second lap which opened the door for Shane to get through. With a pack of six behind him all battling with each other (consisting of Sam, Jam, Looney, Drakey, Stwarm and Rik) this gave 573 the perfect opportunity to break away at the start of the 4th lap, keeping a constant gap of 2 seconds on the chasing pack and never surrendered the lead from this point. Current & former gold roof winners Rik and Looney eventually got their own break away going on with Drakey then catching up to them. However, oppo king Brett was then involved in a war on the bend with Dean, which took 870 and 902 out of any further contention on lap 12. 997 then attempted to close down Shane and would have almost got him thanks to Jon getting in the way of the imminent new champion 3 laps from the end, but a lag spike from 786 doing Stwarm on oppo sent 628 flying into 997 and all but secured the win for Shane. Rik did get second place as compensation, but only just as Jam had caught up to him but crucially could not overtake him to remain third. As always, commiserations to those who finished the 22 lap race but got nothing for it, especially Sam and Dumbo who were the only drivers on the lead lap not to finish in the top 3.

Shane's success once again shows why he has always been a respected driver on LFS Bangers. As an aside, with Sam failing to win the World Final, this also means that Looney has become the final points champion to be crowned on LFS Bangers. I think it's fair to say we have two exemplary drivers being the last ever World & Points champions.
