2017 Banger World Series Results & Points

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 24 Feb 2017, 10:28 pm

Round 1: Cowdenbeath
Kicking off the revamped 2017 Banger World Series was Scotland's Cowdenbeath, hosting a BWS round for the first time. Although there were just nine drivers in attendance, they did not fail to disappoint with some excellent racing and crashing; more importantly it was taken in great spirit by all, which has been missing from a number of meetings in recent months. It was also a sixes and sevens evening as every driver that raced had 6 or 7 in their race number, which is slightly unusual.

Michal made up for his BWS debut performance last season where he missed out on an automatic Championship grid spot by a single point by having a phenomenal evening, winning three heats and the DD but crucially never finishing below 4th in any race, giving him a stunning 98 points. Cap claimed the final and second on the night with 75, with Jam in third on 72 and also claimed both Allcomers. Current BWS points champion Looney won four heats but two failures to finish saw him end up in 4th on 61 points, and Spook was the last heat winner on the night.

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Two Allcomers were also held. 10 points went to the winner of the DD.

Round 2: Yarmouth
Only seven drivers attended Yarmouth's Banger World Series round but they put on a fantastic show: the final in particular a truly remarkable race that lasted seven minutes and looked at one stage as if nobody was going to finish it!

Jam came out on top with 86 points picking up two heats, an allcomers and crucially the final. Looney finished second despite five heat wins - four of them consecutive - 10 points behind, with heat winner and allcomers winner Michal a point behind the current BWS points champion. Splat once again claimed the DD. Oh, and your eyes aren't tricking you: heats 5 and 6 really did have identical results! :D

Round 3: Hednesford
Ten drivers attended the third round of the Banger World Series from Hednesford tonight and once again put on a great display around the quick Staffordshire oval, with a lot of big hits going in as well. The usage of the infield ramp during the second and third Allcomers provided much hilarity for all involved, especially in the second ramp race where it was blocked at one point!

Michal claimed the round with a phenomenal last three race burst to snatch the title from Pepino. Going into Heat 8, the Czech driver was 15 points behind the reigning 2 Litre World Champion, who won four heats on the night. But a last heat win combined with victories in the final and the crucial DD, as well as the first Allcomers, saw him top the points standings six ahead of the German driver: a 21 point swing from the end of Heat 7! Rik claimed three heats, an allcomers and ended third with Jam the only other driver to win a race on the night with the first ramp race.

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Three Allcomers were also held. 10 points went to the winner of the DD.

Heat 1: Rik, Brett, Colin, Cap, Jam, Jon, Michal, Splat
Heat 2: Rik, Pepino, Cap, Colin, Michal, Looney, Jam, Brett, Jon, Splat

Round 4: Aldershot
Seven drivers attended the fourth and final round of the Banger World Series. Due to the low numbers attending, it was agreed by all drivers that the track would be changed from the large Arena Essex to the smaller Aldershot. With the reduced field and drivers spread out due to the grading system, it was a very rodding evening but a number of drivers got some hits in. Once again, the MRT "stoxkarts" had an outing in the Allcomers which produced some great laughs.

Reigning BWS champion Rik blitzed the rest of the field to win with a scarcely believable 106 points - a haul that included four heat wins, the final, two Allcomers AND the DD. 2 Litre European champion Jam claimed second with 8 out of his 9 points finishes being third place, and was the only non-Dutch driver to win a race with the second Allcomers. Miniman claimed third with four heat wins.

Top 10 scored points in all heats and the top 5 scored points in the final. Three Allcomers were also held. 10 points went to the winner of the DD.

Heat 1: Miniman, Rik, Jam, Cap, Pepino, Jon
Heat 2: Rik, Miniman, Jam, Cap, Jon, Pepino
Heat 3: Miniman, Rik, Jam, Cap, Jon, Pepino
Heat 4: Rik, Miniman, Jam, Cap, Pepino, Jon
Heat 5: Miniman, Rik, Jam, Jon, Cap, Pepino
Heat 6: Miniman, Rik, Jam, Cap, Ppeino, Jon
Heat 7: Pepino, Miniman, Jam, Cap, Pepino, jon
Heat 8: Rik, Jam, Pepino

Final: Rik, Jam, Cap, Pepino, Jon

Allcomers 1: Rik, Jam, Cap, Colin, Jon, Pepino
