Clubman (racing car class) (original) (raw)

The Clubman is a class of prototype front-engined sports racing cars that originated in Britain in 1965 as a low-cost formula for open-top, front-engined roadgoing sports cars like the Lotus 7, which had been crowded out of the mainstream by rear-engined cars such as the Lotus 23. The cars have evolved and specialised, but it remains a very popular class of racing. The Clubmans Sports Prototype Championship is organised by The Clubmans Register and currently races with (MSVR) and is a (MSUK) recognised club.
