So now we've decided we're going to continue with 'Clubmans', which version do you want to try? We've had a couple of suggestions:

In no particular order:
1) The Token system, where you get to choose how good a car you want to drive at each race, but you have a season budget depending on your driver ranking.
2) A Target time is announced, a reasonable selection of cars given & people pick a car that they reckon will allow them to lap consistently (or no faster then) the target time.
3) Using a selection of the cars (that have been ranked) for the season, people choose a car that they'll stick with for the season (one change permitted without penalty).
4) Any other idea I might have missed?

Let me know if I've missed anybodies 'Clubmans' idea or if you have one not mentioned yet. I guess I'll have to stick another vote up ASAP.


p.s. if anybody really enjoys seeing all the other cars disappearing into the distance & lapping them, it's always been possible to select a slower car. Just thought that might be worth a reminder  Undecided

Personally i think the current system has worked well. Yes i do find it frustrating to be denied the chance to race my favoured cars but at least it meant i got to try out other cool machinery from that era and found to my delight i really enjoyed driving some of them.  Smiley
Going on my own races, i would have had several potential top 10 finishes if not fallen off or knocked off at different points in a race, and that is normally where i finish...top 10, so would conclude from that, that the cars i was able to drive were the right pace to suit the field. If i ever finish in the top 6 then i count that as a great result and it always gives me something to aim for and challenge the faster guns.  Cool
If you all analyse your races, how many of you would say you were unfairly penalised or prevented from running/finishing in your normal expected positions range ? I bet if anything, the only people who noticed changes to their results were some of the lower grid end finishes who were able to have their chances of glory increased and therefore enjoy their racing that bit more, and good for them  Smiley whereas fast guys put in slower cars probably had plenty of racing and overtaking to achieve their normal lofty heights instead of zooming off in a 2-3 horse race.

We could always throw in some free-for-all car choices every, say, 4 or 5 races so that everyone can take their favourite machinery into action. That would work well and hopefully cater for everybody throughout a clubmens season.  Smiley

Well.... seems i've been proven wrong with the popularity of standard GTL racing.

Have a slight preference for the Token system because I can choose from different cars.
Don't like the idea of running the same car for an entire season, the are some many great cars to try in PnG !!

I've not seen anyone adding any new ideas or pointing at any I might have missed, but I'll give till the end of the day to be sure.

I'm tempted just to go with the 'Tokens' system, as I remain convinced that just having a 'target laptime' will fail instantly. Any thoughts/objections?

Token system might be a nice choice.

Lets give it a go for a few races!?
Might be a good idea to decide how many!? 4? 5? so we have time to see if it pans out?

As I'm sure you're aware, I've published details of the Road Atlanta race for the 11th August, which is using the existing system but with just a handful of cars to select from.

Moving forward, we'll use the rest of the current advertised season (7 more races) to enjoy putting the 'Token' system through its paces, starting at Daytona.

More details & any required info will follow. Smiley
