Introduction
Coming up next at the Adrian Flux Arena, PE34 3AG…it's the biggest night of the year for 2L Bangers! Trackstar World Final 2L Bangers sponsored by Porterhouse Building & Fire Solutions and 2L Stock Cars and Classic Cars 'R' Us Junior Bangers. Live Motorised Thrills and Sprills.
The Banger World Final is one of the biggest events on the calendar on the short ovals; where drivers will compete to see who can destroy the opposition and claim the biggest trophy and title the sport has to offer which will allow them to wear a gold roof on their car for the next twelve months! Drivers do what they can to win the race - which often resembles a 70mph traffic jam - by whatever means they can! The night ends with the famous Destruction Derby where the winner is the last car which can move after destroying the opposition. Plus the always excellent 2L Stock Cars on the bill; the fence will rattle and the sparks will fly and a limited number of Junior Bangers will be on track – these races are always action packed – these kids don’t hold back. We have your Saturday night sorted
Please be advised there are Pyrotechnics and fireworks at this event.
Non stop entertainment for all the family - an event not to be missed.
There are 85 2L Bangers, 27 2L Saloon Stock Cars and 15 Junior Bangers booked in to race.
Drivers if you are booked in and can no longer race, please let us know asap. Drivers wanting to add book in may do so by messaging 07939 580652 (Text or WhatsApp) please.
The pit gate will open for competitors at 1pm, the gates for ticket holders will open at 3pm. If purchased advance tickets, please have your e-ticket confirmation ready, either on your phone or printed. The drivers entrance gate is for competitors only, there is no pedestrian access at this gate.

It’s Trackstar World Final night sponsored by Porterhouse Building & Fire Solutions a title that dates all the way back to 1987, the roll of honour a real who’s who of EA and National Banger drivers. A big grid of close on 50 cars, it’s going to be a good one! The last chance race will be hotly contested and will also see big grids of cars on track, who will make it through, it’s hard to predict, but there’s some very capable drivers who still need to make it on the grid, they will be giving their all in the last chance showdown! The evening will end with a Destruction Derby – an event where the winner is the last car that can move under its own steam!
Drivers are travelling from far and wide for this one to battle on the King's Lynn shale, from all corners of the Country and even a representative from main land Europe. Big pile ups, smashing collisions, cars rolling over and Destruction with a capital D is all on the cards in this family fun show!
Racing also comes from the 2L Stock Cars which are armoured up cars that take no prisoners and provide as much action as the Bangers will. All action Saloon Stock Car Racing - Europe's most exciting Stock Car formula is in action. This form of full contact racing is not for the feint hearted and pile ups, crashes and roll overs are all part of the race spectacle which unfolds in front of your very eyes! The 2L Saloon Stock Cars don’t hold back at all, the fence will rattle and the sparks will fly!
Junior Bangers – You won’t believe it but the drivers in this action packed formula are all aged between 11 and 15! Junior Banger races are very competitive, full of action and your children will love seeing kids of a similar age battling with each other on track in cars you may have driven yourself; Ford Fiesta’s, KA’s or a Nissan Micra! The youngsters do not hold back and they’ve seen some excellent racing this year already, it will be chaotic! With thanks to Classic Cars 'R' Us for their support of the Junior Banger action once again in 2024. Visit their website - https://www.classiccarsrus.co.uk/ or find them on Facebook.
It promises to be a wacky evening of non stop family entertainment not to be missed as the world of banger racing sends its top stars into a battle where “destroy or be destroyed” is the name of the game as the ultimate title in the sport – that of World Champion and who will have the right to paint their roof in the coveted gold paint for the next 12 months takes place!
Good luck to them all and may the best driver win!

Car parking
Customer visitor notice
Following a meeting with the Highways Agency we would like to advise Customers to not park on the main road outside the Arena on race days; this is causing issues with traffic and resulting in a number of complaints.
There is an onsite car park and with the weather hopefully now improving, the overflow parking field should also be available each meeting. Car parking at King’s Lynn is provided free of charge, please do use this.
We would also to like ask everyone to be considerate of our neighbouring Industrial area and to park respectfully if using that space.
Thank you for your co-operation.
