ROOKIRODS |
HOT
FORDS One step up from RookiRods is the Hot Fords, these are front wheel drive Fords with strict rules enforcing standard parts throughout, the racing is fast and close and car presentation on a par with the Hot Rods. Drivers race for different championships during the season. Link: www.buxtonhotfords.2ya.com |
BOMBERS
[formerly Rookiebangers] Basic 'nudge and spin' banger racing with light contact, meaning that generally cars last longer. Lots of drivers take part with adds to the spectacle and there are regular championship races, a very popular formula with 'different' events such as the 'Different Tin' and 'Chained Pairs', and they occasionally run over the Fig 8 circuit at some events. |
ORC
/ NATIONAL BANGERS Full contact banger racing - not for the faint hearted! usually in 2.0 litre cars or the bigger Unlimited Bangers (King Of The Peak) where anything goes, smashing fun for all the family |
SUPERBANGERS More of a racing class in the bangers, these cars are toughened up with steel plate all round, usually having 3 litre engines they are fast, noisy and very good entertainment - especially in the wet!! Superbangers have an upsurge in interest and have revived themselves for some even better racing in 2007 |
FORMULA
MINISTOX Armoured up Mini`s with 1300cc engine`s for adults only (over 16`s), limited contact, fast and exciting racing, cars tend to last much longer than other formula`s. Link: www.666racing.co.uk |
HOT
RODS / SUPER SALOONS Hot Rods are strictly Non contact, rear wheel drive specials (Super Saloons are FWD), they are the top class of closed circuit racing in the UK with amazing car preperation and investment from all drivers, the racing in this formula is very fast and close and with car numbers having a big increase in recent seasons this formula is one to watch. |
| VISITING FORMULAS: |
BRISCA
F1 STOCKCARS The ultimate in contact racing, these cars have 'unlimited' V8 Chevy engines that the spectator can feel as they thunder past, drivers use the bumpers to nudge other cars off the racing line to gain places. Link: www.brisca.com / www.bscda.co.uk |
BRISCA
F2 STOCKCARS A far smaller version of the F1 Stockcars, these use the Ford Pinto engine of 2L capacity and hundreds of drivers take part all over the country, these F2s are very fast on the raceway with a good turnout each time. Link: www.briscaf2.com |
V8
HOTSTOX The V8 HotStox are full sized stockcars just like the F1s, but the V8s have only a Rover V8 for power and limited rules on both tyres and suspension, making the V8s a cheaper option to race, the lower spec tyres and suspension makes for entertaining action whenever they appear, the V8s produce good racing at Buxton and have many different championships through the season.

NATIONAL
MINISTOX |
REBELS |
GP
MIDGETS Pure bred open wheeled racing cars that only run on ovals, strictly non contact racing with each car having engine of unlimited design to 1400cc max, with engine position either front, mid or rear mounted types, these are possibly the fastest formula there is, races are long - often to 30 laps and due to them being open wheeled, when it goes wrong it can lead to mayhem!!
