Stock Car

"Now for some motor racing where pitstops are banned, but ramming is actively encouraged. Its a sport that could've been designed specifically for Michael Schumacher."

- Jeremy Clarkson

Stock Car was one of the Trial events that featured during the first series of Robot Wars as a test of speed and manoeuvrability. The five robots were lined up on the grid in order of their performance in the Gauntlet and had to complete three laps of the figure-of-eight course in the quickest possible time. The race ended when the first robot completed three laps and the robot that covered the least distance at that point would be eliminated from the competition. Each robot was placed on the track in the order in which they had completed the Gauntlet. This trial featured Sgt. Bash and Shunt on raised plinths in the arena with Shunt's axe mechanism being used as a checkered flag, when the winning robot crossed the line.
