That looks like fun. In the United States we have a racing event called the 24 hours of LeMo ns, We also have an event called the Gambler 500 .

Cool video. Funny seeing the Rolls-Royce and numerous MBs and Jags, along with some American cars mixed in . I remember going to demo derbies when I was younger, and being disturbed at seeing possibly rare old cars being destroyed. But if nobody is willing to pay more than scrap for them, so it goes.

In Murka, the strategy is often to keep going as long as possible. Elsewhere, maybe to inflict as much damage as possible.

ìn america its almost affordable to keep old junkers going.. yous have pretty easy laws and regs

we dont have crate engines over here.... most old cars it just aint worth saving... its a labour of love here coz you will never make your money back

and so banger racing is a thing

I meant kept going in the banger race. American demo derbies are the last car standing, so to speak. Not sure how it works elsewhere, where causing damage seems to harm the inflicting car as well.   Maybe better to go out with a bang than rotting in a field.

Yeah, in most of the US there are no real inspections at all, and even rudimentary emissions tests are sometimes being phased out. If it runs, drives, and stops, you are good to go. Also, with a dearth of transit in most areas, and a booming socio-economic gap, cheap transport is a necessity.
