Has anyone here heard of Stockcar Racing? (IN UK)?

Stock car racing is a type of series in the UK. (small oval racing)
I dont think its as popular as it should be and would recomend it to all motorsport fans.
(a few million people like it though)

Yes, there’s BriSCA. But not like NASCAR:

HOT RODS-Hot Rods are a non contact formula where the vehicles are based on production (stock) cars, or resemble production cars. The concept for the National series is similar to that of NASCAR. The NHRPA cars resemble production cars, but are in fact purpose built space frame chassis with a Kevlar body which mimics a production car. Other Hot Rod categories do make use of standard production body/chassis.

Classes include;- National Hot Rods, 2 litre Hot Rods, Stock Rods, Lightning Rods, Rookie Rods

Other non-contact categories which might be included as Hot Rod classes are Legends, Midgets

BRISCA STOCK CARS-The BriSCA and Spedeworth Stock Cars trace their history back to the fifties and the original concept of production cars racing on an oval race way. In stock car racing contact is allowed, that is, if you are unable to pass an opponent using speed alone, you are allowed to ‘bump’ your opponent in order too knock them offline and pass. The degree of contact allowed varies between categories. Many stock car categories in the UK no longer resemble production cars. There are categories that use stock components, but no longer resemble production cars e.g. BriSCA F1, BriSCA F2, Spedeworth V8 Stock cars, Spedeworth Superstox. Then there are a variety of stock car classes that do resemble production cars e.g. National Saloon Stock cars, Spedeworth 2L Stock Cars, Spedeworth 1300 Stock cars

SALOON STOCK CARS-The Saloon Stock cars are one of the greatest formula to hit the short oval race circuit, they combine a mix of speed and contact, the main car which is used most often is the classic Ford Sierra, To be raced the car must be fitted with a rollcage and must be strengthened in many parts, the rules for such sport change every year to adapt with the speed of this legendary racing, A great builder of such car is former driver Andy Mews, During the British Final 2 years ago, 2 out of 3 cars where made by this precision engineer, the racing takes part over a variety of tracks, The English favourite is Kings Lynn whilst the Scottish favourite is Cowdenbeath, This Formula has a variety of championships and leagues.

Classes include;- BriSCA F1, BriSCA F2, Spedeworth V8 Stock cars Spedeworth Superstox, National Saloon Stock cars, Spedeworth 2L Stock Cars, Spedeworth 1300 Stock cars, Ministox, Rebels

BANGERS-Bangers are production cars that are raced with modifications for safety, e.g. drivers doors are reinforced, roll over bars are added, windscreens are removed etc. The racing is full contact and very aggressive with ‘wrecking’ usually playing a more important role than ‘racing’. That said this is not a Destruction Derby, although many Banger meetings do end with one.

Classes include;- National Bangers, 2 Litre Bangers, Rookie Bangers
