Banger Racing

This year BETTWS Banger Racing will be in its 8th year and is now established as the largest event of its type in Wales.

In 2017 it annihilated its fundraising target with the current pot standing around £25,000. This means that the event has raised over £110,000 since its initial conception. These funds will go towards supporting worthwhile causes such as Wales Air Ambulance and other charities.

The 2017 event attracted over 100 racers, competing in six engine classes. The overall winner was John Rowlands from Blaenau Ffestiniog. Additional events included a Ladies’ Race and Caravan Carnage. The aim of the “carnage” was to park a car or van inside or on top of a caravan being towed around the track.
