It's good to hear from you Keith and there is no need to sorry about being blunt. Thats the whole point of the forum and this discussion in particular. We need to hear the veiws of as many drivers as possible and I for one appreciate your reply. I agree with you about the newcomer needing to race against the faster drivers to get an idea of the pace as I stated in my previous post, the speed will come by learning the right lines to take, when to overtake and when to hold. My biggest fear with the clubman class is that if we don't have a progression of drivers from the class that go up in to modified, say after winning a club championship, then it could become stale. The newcomer could quite as easily be put off if the same guys are winning week after week. If that person or people were to move up in class then that would open the door for someone else to win the championship, thus encouraging evryone else in the clubman class.
