2017 BANGER WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

Postby Jon#606 » Fri 27 Oct 2017, 11:43 pm

The 2017 Banger World Series Championship was held at Hednesford Hills Raceway tonight with 10 drivers in attendance, which was a noticeable low on recent meetings. The league's first Spanish driver in 33 Joan attended, but for reasons unknown to anyone decided to leave halfway through the BWS Championship race.

With only 10 drivers in attendance and just two of those not having attended a BWS round (the aforementioned Joan and 669 Mr. Perfect Jr.) there was no Last Chance Race held as it would have been completely pointless, so these two were on the grid in race order. The grid for the BWS Championship is below (reigning champion denoted by the italic C in white brackets next to their name):

27 Cap - - - - - - - - - - - 616 Jam
997 Rik (C) - - - - - - - - - 47 Michal
606 Jon - - - - - - - - - - - 870 Looney
960 Pepino - - - - - - - - - 66 Colin
669 Mr. Perfect Jr. - - - - 33 Joan


Despite the small grid, this was actually quite a decent race, with the lead changing hands multiple times before the winner was crowned...

2017 BANGER WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP:
1st: Michal
2nd: Looney
3rd: Pepino
Other finishers: Colin, Rik, Jam, Jon, Mr. Perfect Jr. Cap

After months of trying to claim a big title, Czech driver Michal finally got over the line with an impressive drive to claim the Banger World Series title. Reigning BWS champion Rik led for half the race but was taken out of contention by Cap, which then put #47 in the lead. Reigning BWS points champion Looney gained the lead but the wrath of #997 was unleashed on #870, allowing Michal to cruise to victory with relative ease. Looney ended up second with former 2 Litre World Champion Pepino completing the podium. As an added bonus, with neither of Cap nor Jam making it onto the podium and Michal winning, he has also claimed a rare double by not only being the Banger World Series champion but also the Banger World Series points champion by a margin of just TWO POINTS, which is an incredible achievement. As always, commiserations to those who finished the 22 lap race but got nothing for it.

Here are the results from the other races that took place tonight, which were all non-points. Well done to all the winners, and credit to all of those who stuck around until the very end:
