Thanks Phil, it's been a long break from Clubmans.   

I'm not sure that Mrs. Fujikawa has acceded so readily to the formation of the Coopermen, either.

Watch this junior Geisha training video and decide for yourselves:

It wasn't that I missed the Glen in Clubman's!  Since the vogue is for a race around FIA headquarters, and night racing in Asia, it seemed less likely to me that modern F1 will return to its once-established American home at the Glen.

Is there a guide to which add-on tracks are considered stable enough to roster?  Montjuic doesn't seem to have appeared much, though that might be because of the detail.  It's difficult to crash at East London yet I've rarely seen that.  The Adelaide 67 version looks good even if it is- like Lime Rock- slightly dubious.  Hockenheim might be dull and Jarama technical but they are both historical, as are Clermont and Bugatti.  Sandown '68 and Vallelunga have merit, and while Imola wasn't an F1 track the layout without chicanes must have some attraction?

March 30 seems a while away, any chance of a pre-season Clubman’s race- even an ‘unofficial’ one using a public server?

I’m not sold on ‘fantasy’ tracks but it seems that Lime Rock has a basis in reality.  It seems a shame that it was never constructed, though it might not have been as suitable for conversion to modern F1 as Watkins Glen.  I suppose the current fad for improbable street circuits means that a return to the Glen is less likely.

Is Clubman’s no longer an introductory league?  Oulton is quite tricky compared to Snetterton and Albi, and I’m surprised that both Monaco and the Nurburgring are included in the schedule.  On the other hand I’ll be pleased if Monza remains the choice for the last race.  It seems odd to encourage closer racing with handicaps then have several tracks where passing is difficult…?  Still, I suppose I can’t both express a preference for the historic tracks and hope to dodge Monaco and the Ring!
