MOTORSPORT: Brutal Banger Team race action returned to Arena Essex on Sunday when old foes were reunited at the Chick Woodroffe memorial meeting.

The annual event, held in honour of the tracks founder, saw the Midnight Runners B team eventually take the honours after an afternoon which seemed to pitch the majority of the visiting teams against the numerous home track Gladiator team factions, with destructive results.
