When you visit Skegness Stadium you will be rewarded with first class racing and excitement that only Short Circuit racing has to offer.

We feature different Formulas of cars each with their own unique style of racing, please look at some of the MAIN types of racing we have to offer below:

BriSCA Formula 1 Stockcars:

F1 Stockcars are the premier UK open wheel contact racing, each car has a V8 engine of American origin with massive amount of horsepower. These are regarded as the 'Big League' in oval racing terms due to the big hits, big noise and certainly big crowds that come from all over Europe to watch them perform. Drivers are allowed to use contact to push other drivers out of the way to make progress in the race.

BriSCA Formula 2 Stockcars:

F2 Stockcars are a smaller, lightweight version of an F1 car, using the Ford Pinto engine with 2 Litre capacity, there is always lots of action when the 'twos are out on track! The F2 Stox run to almost the same rules as the bigger F1s.

2 Litre Saloon Stox

Heavily armoured cars, in which Sierras and Sapphires are universally regarded as the first choice of donor car. All cars powered by 2-litre Ford Pinto engines. Occasionally controversial, very hard hitting, contact racing - not for the feint hearted - as cars hit, spin and sometimes roll!
Mention the words 'Stock Cars' to anyone and this is the image that is usually conjured up in their minds. These are battle scared chariots carrying heavy offensive and defensive armouring, where full contact racing is most definitely the name of the game.

National Hot Rods

Days of thunder National Hot Rods return to Skegness Stadium after a 15 years absence, possibly the fastest breathtakingly awesome form of oval motor sport. A superb spectacle as up to 25 235+bhp cars on a thundering ¼ mile oval arena, challenge for the front.
Supremely fast, ultra competitive racing thoroughbred cars, built around a space frame with maximum 2L engine. Racing tyres and painstakingly hi tec preparation. A Pure Power formula, with no deliberate pushing or boring.

REBELS:

Rebels are scaled down Ford Pops, with a Reliant 850cc engine at its heart. Each car weighs exactly the same and are built to the same specification, the rest is down to driver ability. Each Rebel has bumpers front and back which are used in the same way as the F1 and F2 stockcars - to remove the driver in front in gaining a position. for more details of Rebels including how you can HIRE one, go to www.rebelsracing.com .

MINISTOX:

Ministox is racing for the 10-15 year olds, Ministox are based on the Mini with a 1000cc engine with slight modification, a fully welded steel chassis with heavy armour is used to protect the driver, many sons and daughters of current Stockcar Drivers take part in this formula and despite the drivers only being kids, the action is as thick and fast as any other formula, Contact is allowed in the same way as other Stockcar formulas.

OVAL LEGENDS

Stunning 5/8 scale race cars powered by 1200cc motorbike engines, with body shapes based on US cars from 1920's and 30's. Racing is very fast and competitive.

LOCAL "DOMESTIC" FORMULAS:

1300 Saloon Stox:

This is a rapidly growing class, that provides similar action to the 2L Saloon Stock Cars. Fitted with outside ironwork that enables drivers to keep their cars looking smart while still getting involved in plenty of spectacular Stock Car action. The control tyre introduced in 1997 has seen even closer competition.
The 1300 Saloon are another great formula which produces lots of close, exciting full contact racing with big fields of cars!

GT HOT RODS

Hot Rod Racing is different to most other formulas which appear at Skegness, in that deliberate contact between cars is not allowed. GT Hot Rod Racing sees the fastest drivers who start at the very back of the grid have to hone their racing skills and it is an instant decision and split second timing which will see drivers overtake and move up the grid.
GT Hot Rods run using up to 1600cc engines, with very limited tuning. All the cars are front wheel drive, arched and skirted and all run on controlled re-mould tyres
Vauxhall Novas mix it with Fiestas, Citroen AX's and VW Golf's and the like, to provide a good blend of available cars.
The low cost of this formula has encouraged drivers to join and the wide bends and fast smooth surface is ideal for this formula and a real challenge to drivers of all ability to join this growing Hot Rod formula.

JUNIOR RODS

The Junior Rod formula allows the younger generation to cut their teeth in motor racing. This is a fine formula for boys and girls to attempt to emulate their heroes or in some cases "Dad". Boys between the ages of 11 and 16 and girls between the ages of 11 and 16 can take part. You may be thinking that these are expensive machines, fear not, the cars are completely standard 1000cc Novas or Fiestas. The cars carry sufficient protection for the driver to prevent the youngsters from coming to any harm due to over-enthusiasm in this non contact class.
The racing is quite similar to the GT Hot Rods . They drive in a clockwise direction unlike some of the 'senior' formulae whose direction is clockwise. Once old enough the youngsters can enter the 'senior' formulas where they can really stretch their legs! The racing from the Junior Rods is always exciting and very rarely dull!

TSR BANGERS / BANGERS / UNLIMITED BANGERS
The name banger conjures up an impression of heavy contact racing, TSR Bangers however are an exception to this impression being a 'limited contact' class. Don't be misled though, the action and entertainment that this formula dishes out is as entertaining as any other Banger formula with massive grids of cars seeing cars spin out in all directions!

The TSR Banger formula is designed to tempt you, the spectator off of the terrace an on to the track for the first time. The cost and preparation are kept to a minimum in the TSR Banges. The cars used are all generally standard cars, with the radiator being kept in its standard position preventing any 'heavy' contact, although there is still enough contact to keep the spectator interested!
Equally entertaining and interesting is the type of car that is used in this formula, where cars considered useless are resurrected and brought back into service. So, why not give it a go and get that old Cavalier off your front garden...!
The cheapest way to go racing, this restricted contact class is open to cars up to 1600cc. Ideal for the novice driver, but equally popular with established stars. Big entries provide affordable fun and excitement all the way.
As well as novice drivers, there are plenty of established stars in BangerRod racing who love pitting their talents against thirty plus other drivers to try to win some of the big Silverware on offer!

Banger Racing - 2 Litre & Unlimited:
These cars are the type of car you see everyday, often MOT failures that have been resurrected to give one last chance of survival! these cars are driven to destruction and then to the scrapyard! Banger racing is one of the cheapest forms of motorsport in the UK and because of this lots of drivers take part. Skegness Stadium offers all classes of Bangers from the 'Nudge & Spin' to the full on heavy metal 'Unlimiteds'
