The UK is planning on banning the manufacture of all ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) cars from 2030, followed by hybrids from 2035. Futurists are predicting that petrol and diesel cars will become rare so fuel stations will switch to becoming charging stations to meet demands, and obtaining fossil fuels will become harder and more costly. This will affect the classic car scene, car events, and bangers.
Banger racing is a popular sport in many countries, but it relies on access to ICE vehicles and fossil fuels to run them. You can’t really crash electric vehicles into each other as batteries have a tendency to catch fire or even explode.
So will this mean the end of bangers?
