Formula's Racing

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, click any of the pics to view a larger version:


Brisca Formula 1 Stock Cars
As seen on BBC 1 in the series “Gears & Tears”, (depending when you read this). In 2009 the BBC followed drivers from this formula racing around the country coming several times to Skegness, and there is a six part series due to be shown on BBC early in 2010.
Now see it live, and close up!!! All of the action all of the time!!
Brisca F1 Stock Cars are considered the King’s of the Oval, the premier UK open wheel contact racing, BIG CARS on a small track with awesome unlimited power. These are considered the big league in oval racing terms due to the big hits, big noise, and big crowds that follow this formula from all over Europe. Contact is encouraged to push other drivers out of the way to make progress in the race. Usually around 8 dates for these brutes of the raceway, UK Speedweekend second weekend in May when lots of cars gather to contest this popular trophy.
Brisca Formula 2 Stock Cars
F2 Stock Cars are armoured cars, bumpers front & rear, large grids of cars with close fast contact racing. The cars use mainly 2L engines, Skegness is a popular track with it wide bends and fast racing, and watching them under floodlights is a sight to behold as the lights reflect off of the brilliant paint work. We feature around 25 race dates during the year with the UK Speedweekend on the second weekend of July a highlight, with cars from all parts of the UK in attendance.


2L Saloon Stock Cars
Mention Stock Cars and we immediately think of 2L Saloon Stock car, and FULL contact is definitely the order of the day. Armoured up all around, and the bumpers are used, to push and shove other competitors out of the way, often resulting in spins, rollovers. You can see with the scars on the bodywork that this formula is not for those of a nervous disposition. As the name suggests using 2L engines, with mainly Sierras and Sapphires as the donor car. 8 – 10 race dates with the Uk Speedweekend second weekend in July where drivers from all parts of the UK congregate, with emphasise on the heavy metal crunching racing.


National Hot Rods
National Hot Rods unfortunately make only one visit to Skeggy Stadium per year usually in May, these cars are the fastest most breathtakingly awesome form of oval motor sport. A superb spectacle as up to 25 235 + bhp cars on a thundering ¼ mile oval, challenge for the front. These supremely fast, ultra competitive racing thoroughbred cars, built around a space frame with maximum 2L engine. Racing tyres and painstakingly hi tec prep. A pure power formula, with no deliberate pushing or boring. Definitely a formula for the purists.


1300 Saloon Stock Cars
This Skeggy favourite stock cars are a smaller version of the 2L Stock Cars, with bumpers front & rear, it’s a nudge & spin contact formula without the heavy contact. Fast close racing using mainly 1300cc Novas or Astra, cars have steel rails on the outside of the body to protect the body panels from too much damage. Plenty of race dates on the fast Skeggy tarmac, and we also race at shale venues in the area including Scunthorpe & Sheffield, and regular visits to Buxton Raceway.

GT Hot Rods
Skegness’s own non contact formula with racing no deliberate contact is allowed, GT Hot Rods have the fastest cars starting at the back of the grid have to hone their racing skills and it is an instant decision and spit second timing which will see drivers overtaking and racing door handle to door handle and move up the grid. Using mainly Astras, Novas, Corsa, up to 1400cc engines with limited tuning, front wheel drive, with arched and skirted body panels. An ideal formula to race on the wide bends and fast smooth tarmac surface, and a real challenge for drivers of all ability’s. Around 20 race dates all through the year.


Junior Rods
The Juniors allow 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 & in lots of cases Dad. Kids between 11yrs & 16yrs take part using standard 1000cc Novas in non-contact racing. Many of the Junior drivers move up into Senior formulas, where you can always tell if they have gone through the Junior ranks once they get out there with the big boys. Ex Junior drivers are always more disciplined and better prepared to race in Senior formulas. An excellent training formula.


Rookie Bangers
Bangers usually means heavy contact, but this form of Banger racing is a limited contact lass, Don’t be misled though, the action and entertainment that these cars dish out is as entertaining as any other Banger formula with big grids of cars seeing spin outs and rollovers in all directions.
The Rookie Bangers are often the choice of Drivers just starting out in racing or coming from the Junior Formula and wanting to gain experience. Also includes experienced drivers who just want to have fun, this formula covers all ranges of experience. The costs are kept as low as possible with minimum preparation i.e. the radiator is kept in its original position to minimize heavy contact.
The cars are upto 1600cc or under 1800cc single cam 8 valve Astra, Cavalier, Sierra, Primera, Maximum size is Cavalier / Carina,
As well as novice drivers, there are plenty of racing stars in Rookie Bangers who love to try their luck on the fast Skeggy Tarmac.


Banger Racing
BangerStox—2L – Unlimited
These cars are definitely contact, with emphasise on moving the car in front out of the way by any means to gain an advantage. Often MOT failures given a last chance of survival, driven to the scrap yard via the race track.
Several dates through the year for Bangers check the fixtures for details of Crashattack & Wreckfest the two main Banger dates at Skeggy.
Bangerstox 1600cc, Cavalier, Maxi.
2L bangers Cortina, Capri, Montego, Mondao
Unlimited Granada, Jags, Volvos,

MD Hot Rods
New to Skegness Stadium for 2010 as the name suggests a class using only Mondeo’s in a non contact formula. A budget formula using readily available cars, An affordable way to get started on the race track if you prefer your racing as no contact. They is around 12-15 outings at Skegness and it looks a promising formula to be in.
National Ministox
This is racing for the 10 – 15 years old. National Minis based on the Mini with a 1000cc engine with slight modifications, a fully welded steel chassis with heavy armour is used to protect the driver, many sons and daughters of current Stock Car Champions take part in this formula and despite the drivers only being kids, the action is thick and fast as any other formula. Contact is allowed in the same way as adult formulas. Another training ground for future Senior Drivers, many of the drivers in the Brisca F1 Stock Cars started out in this formula.
  Oval Legends
A non contact stunning 5/8th scale race car powered by 1200cc motorbike engines, with body shapes based on US cars from the 1920’s and 30’s. Racing is very fast and competitive.
  UK Modifieds
UK Modifieds are oval track race cars that use modern high powered motorcycle engines which produce up to 200bhp, and in a car that weighs only 500kg's this makes them very fast indeed. To a newcomer these cars may look slightly odd at first sight with their flat side panels and unique shape, but this serves to make this class of oval motorsport stand out from the rest together with the amazing high revving roar of the engines when powering round an oval race track.
