1600 Rookie Bangers

The name Banger conjures up an impression of heavy contact racing, and the 1600 Rookie Bangers are a hugely entertaining formula. At domestic DMC meetings, the formula race their heats to limited contact Rookie Banger rules designed to tempt you, the spectator, off the terrace and onto the track for the first time. The finals at each meeting are full contact 1600 Bangers rules!

The cost and preparation are kept to a minimum and the cars used are all generally standard cars. Equally entertaining and interesting is the type of car that is used in this formula, where cars considered useless are resurrected and brought back into service.

The European Championship for the 1600 Bangers formula will be held at Aghadowey Oval in June 2026.
