Presenting Sig's Bangers, the first event made in collaboration between Street Obsessions and Above&Beyond. The event will be held on July 9th, 2022 at 7 PM (19:00) UTC/GMT time.

According to Wikipedia: "Banger racing is a tarmac, dirt, shale and chalk track type of motorsport event popular in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands. Old scrap vehicles are raced against one another, with the winner being the first to the checkered flag after a set number of laps. Contact to damage an opponent's car is permitted and encouraged within the formula, with cars progressively becoming more damaged throughout an event."
