The meeting was won last year by The Predators "B"; a new winner was guaranteed as none of the drivers who were in that team (Lukey, Sam and the since banned Ellis) competed in the meeting. Although it was close early on, one quick burst of points at the end of the heats saw the victors crowned before the final...
Top 5 scored in heats and final. Allcomers were non-points. Drivers in italics finished but did not score points. 5 points went to the winning team in the DD.

After two successes in the Best Buds meets this season, PiranMoto claimed their first proper team title with a very strong performance in the Unlimited Battle of Britain. Jam and Michal claimed 27 points each, but the crucial spell came at the end of the heats where they scored 23 points out of a possible 27 to claim the meeting before the final even started. The 2 Litre European champion won three heats and an Allcomers while his Czech teammate picked up 4 heats. The one-off Global Wreckers team of Looney, Brett and Pepino claimed second largely due to the consistent scoring of 786, who placed in the top 5 in all but one race. 870 claimed an insane first Allcomers with him as the last car running that lasted nearly NINE MINUTES while the team also picked up the DD. Riot Squad ended third with Cap claiming a heat win while the all-Dutch Team Klepdeksel didn't do much but Colin had one of his best LFS Bangers performances to date by claiming the final in some style.
So, without further ado:
CONGRATULATIONS TO PIRANMOTO - WINNERS OF THE 2017 UNLIMITED BATTLE OF BRITAIN!
