Stock car racing in the United Kingdom

Stock car racing in the United Kingdom covers a number of different oval racing formulas.

The most notable difference between British Stock car racing and other nations is that contact is allowed in certain UK formula, that is, if you are unable to pass an opponent using speed alone, you are allowed to push or hit your opponent in order to pass. The degree of contact allowed varies from so called "nudge and spin" racing to "full contact" where drivers are permitted to drive their opponents directly into the walls of the raceway.
