2019 Micro Bangers Results

Round 1
Ten drivers competed in the first round of the 2019 Micros Championship. In a late change to the scheduled venue, the Indoor Drift Oval was replaced by the classic Blackwood Car Park Oval. This was due to a number of concerns from drivers regarding the surface of the indoor arena not being particularly grippy for racing, and from myself in regards to the fact the circuit is way too short for a proper length 12 lap race (as laps can be done roughly 3 seconds quicker than a standard lap, which is significantly noticeable over time).

Away from the negatives though and tonight saw two new league debutants in Dutchman 320 Meijer and Lithuanian 404 Naglas, who both produced some excellent racing alongside the regulars. There were a number of good hits as well tonight despite the focus being on points.

Reigning 2 Litre British champ Pepino came out on top in the opening round by a far margin thanks to a pair of heat wins, a second in the final and only failing to finish in the top 3 on one occasion, where he finished fifth in heat 2. Former European champion Jam came second largely due to his final win, while former Unlim World champ Looney claimed three heats (including heat 5 by 0.01 seconds!) but failed to place high enough in the final to challenge and finished third. Meijer's second in heat 4 and third in the final put him fourth in a very impressive debut, while teammate Stwarm claimed a heat and an Allcomers to finish 5th. Sam M. claimed the first Allcomers and ended up sixth, with Colin's DD success securing him seventh. Brett was the only other winner, although his focus on wrecking in the heats to downgrade saw him score just 6 points!

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD

Round 2
An excellent turnout of thirteen drivers contested the second round of this year's Micro Bangers Championship with the wide Aldershot Raceway the location for some miniature mayhem. Some superb racing on show, which included two races where the top two were separated by no time difference whatsoever, was sadly marred by some silly behaviour from a few drivers who were spoken to after the meeting. The drivers in question have assured me that they will not behave in this manner again, which is absolutely brilliant to hear.

In another display of Northern Irish stockrod driver dominance, this week it was 966 Matt (who raced under 996 but has been recorded as 966 to avoid confusion with Crash Jr.) who came out on top thanks to being ungraded and therefore starting from the front. In the colours of the famous wrecking team the Bears, Matt betrayed his car's skin and went on a winning spree, with the double points final, two heats, three seconds and a third to eventually end up 10 away from the maximum haul of 85 points. His fellow Ulsterman 515 Josh did even better win-wise, with three heat victories in a row as well as the DD. Looney was the only non-NI driver to win a heat, with Jam claiming all three Allcomers races.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Drivers in italics finished but did not score points. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Round 3
A far lower showing of only six drivers made it down to the south west and Smeatharpe Stadium. Despite the small turnout, all drivers involved enjoyed the racing and wrecking action, with some very close battles at times.

It was no surprise to see Devon native Looney come out on top at his home venue with a superb showing, only dropping 11 points on his way to winning the meeting. The former Unlimited World and Points champion claimed three heats and the final alongside two second places. Sam (who will no longer be referred to as "Sam M." as Sam B. has not raced for a very long time and has an alternate nickname anyway) claimed two heats and two seconds as he finished second. Jam was the other heat winner, as well as claiming an Allcomers, and finished second in the final. Brett was the other winner tonight with the second Allcomers and the DD.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Sam, Looney, Jam, Spook, Jon
Heat 2: Looney, Sam, Spook, Jam, Jon
Heat 3: Looney, Sam, Jam, Brett, Spook
Heat 4: Sam, Looney, Jam, Jon, Spook, Brett
Heat 5: Looney, Brett, Spook, Sam, Jon, Jam
Heat 6: Jam, Spook, Sam, Brett, Looney, Jon

Final: Looney, Jam, Sam, Brett, Looney, Jon

Allcomers 1: Jam, Spook, Jon, Sam
Allcomers 2: Brett, Jam, Jon, Spook, Sam

DD: Brett

POINTS
1st: Looney - 74 points
2nd: Sam - 69 points
3rd: Jam - 64 points
4th: Spook - 58 points
5th: Brett - 45 points
6th: Jon - 40 points

Round 4
The summer slowdown appears to have impacted on the league with the second successive turnout of only 5 cars at Warton for Micros Round 4. This was a shame because two of the league's lesser participating drivers made appearances on what could have been an exciting night with a higher showing: sporadic racer 287 Mr Simo was joined by his returning namesake 128 Simo, who previously raced under 562 back in 2013.

It was just the two winners across the night as Looney edged out Sam by just 4 points to claim the meeting; 4 heats for #870 alongside three second places saw him pip #673 who won two heats, the final and the DD.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. No Allcomers were held. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Looney, Jon, Mr Simo, Simo
Heat 2: Looney, Sam, Jon, Mr Simo, Simo
Heat 3: Sam, Looney, Mr Simo, Jon, Simo
Heat 4: Looney, Sam, Jon, Mr Simo, Simo
Heat 5: Looney, Sam, Mr Simo, Jon, Simo
Heat 6: Sam, Looney, Mr Simo, Jon, Simo

Final: Sam, Looney, Mr Simo, Jon, Simo

DD: Sam

POINTS
1st: Looney - 76 points
2nd: Sam - 72 points
3rd: Mr Simo - 62 points
4th: Jon - 60 points
5th: Simo - 49 points

Round 5
The fifth and final round of the 2019 Micro Bangers Championship took the drivers to the far north of the UK with Crimond in Aberdeenshire welcoming 10 drivers to its tight and tricky confines. Reigning Micro Bangers World & Points champion 997 Rik and Team Bandicoot teammate 474 Miniman made their first appearances of the small cars' season.

Once again Rik proved why he is the reigning World & Points champion as he almost produced a perfect meeting with the final, two heats, the DD and only finished outside of the top 3 once. Hunter finished second with five third places and a second in the final as well as two Allcomers, Miniman finished third thanks to his hat-trick of heats and Stan finished fourth with a heat win of his own. Spook claimed the other win in the second Allcomers.

Top 10 scored in heats and final. Three Allcomers were held. 5 points went to the winning driver in the DD.

Heat 1: Miniman, Rik, Hunter, Looney, Jam, Sam, Stan, Stwarm, Jon
Heat 2: Stan, Rik, Hunter, Miniman, Stwarm, Looney, Sam, Jon, Jam
Heat 3: Miniman, Stan, Rik, Hunter, Jam, Looney, Sam, Jon, Stwarm
Heat 4: Rik, Miniman, Hunter, Sam, Stan, Looney, Stwarm, Jon, Jam
Heat 5: Rik, Miniman, Hunter, Stan, Jam, Looney, Stwarm, Sam, Jon
Heat 6: Miniman, Stan, Hunter, Rik, Looney, Jam, Stwarm, Sam, Spook

Final: Rik, Hunter, Jam, Stan, Looney, Sam, Miniman, Spook, Jon, Stwarm
