Whenever I go to the Nurburgring, the first person I think of is always Mike Hailwood. For those few of you who have not instantly recognised the hallowed name of motorcycle racing's greatest treasure,

As has been the way for the last 16 years, the highlight of this particular petrolhead's summer is not the British Grand Prix, but the annual pilgrimage from the pub to the Goodwood estate in Chichester for the superb Festival of Speed.

The worst case scenario which I suggested would happen a while ago has come to pass. At least today.

Unlike The Editor of this site, I haven't yet had the privilege of being charmed out of my socks by the cock-eyed optimist who's promising to run the British GP at Donington Park next year and for 16 years thereafter.

That morning as The Mole was savouring a cup of tea and three chocolate-topped Digestive biscuits, he received a phone call from his friend The Mandarin, at the Old Admiralty Building, overlooking Horse Guards Parade. "They must be Trooping the Colour soon," said The Mole.

A couple of weeks ago my mate Dan Knutson and I were reflecting on the delights of the Monaco GP. It is an utterly ridiculous race usually involving processions and no racing at all, but it is also the only circuit in the world where everyone can get close enough to an angry single-seater to remind ourselves why motor racing is such a viscerally wonderful sport.

The Mole has been unable to keep up with his duties as chronicler of the slightly demented world of Formula 1 motor racing because of the government's lack of interest in the subject.

These are momentous, historic times. No, I am not talking about Jenson Button, coming from the hell of earth car obscurity to world champion elect, BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Looking back over the 40 years that I've been writing about F1 racing, I have discovered that many of the really terrifying moments happened at Spanish GPs.

Formula 1 folk do not much like the Chinese Grand Prix. This is unfortunate because as everyone knows that China is a country of great importance these days in the world economy - and offers the greatest opportunities for the future for the major global corporations involved in the sport.

Here I am in the Peoples' Republic of China, en route to the Grand Prix That None Of The People Will Pay To See, and the more eagle-eyed readers among you may well recall some hackery from this column not too long ago in which your correspondent said he would never set foot in this particular socialist paradise.

As a regular reader of this column (as well as an occasional contributor to it), I have become thoroughly jealous of The Mole. My labours in Formula 1 would have been much lighter had there been a bevy of Penelopes to do my research for me, and it would have been so agreeable to have had a Mrs Batty around to ensure that my breakfast kidneys were properly devilled and the kedgeree correctly spiced.

You could have heard a pin drop at Mole Manor. The only sound was the gentle rustle of The Mole's FT as he turned the pages. Mrs Mole was sitting at the breakfast table, nibbling on a piece of toast without making a sound and one needed very good ears to have heard a low chuntering noise emanating from the kitchen, where Mrs Batty, the somewhat eccentric cook, was fussing over some sauteed kidneys.

Now it may not quite have the attractions of a Jerez or a Portimao, but Kemble Airfield in Gloucestershire is currently the UK's F1 test venue of choice (showing what little choice there actually is) and that's a good enough excuse for us to leave the haven of the pub now and then.

Miss Pringle-Featherby (of the Berkshire Pringle-Featherbys) was all in a twitter, as the members of the Motor Racing and Trade Development Department of the Secret Intelligence Service drifted into work at Vauxhall Cross. It was a dull overcast day but she was excited.

The JGTC - established in 1994 by the JAF (Japanese Automobile Federation) via its subsidiary company the 'GT-A (GT Association) - replaced the defunct All Japan Sports Prototype Championship for Group C cars that was terminated by the end of 1994 and in the same year Japanese Touring Car Championship for Group A touring cars, which would adopt the Supertouring formula which was used worldwide. Seeking to prevent the spiraling budgets and one-team/make domination of both series, JGTC imposed strict limits on power, and heavy weight penalties on race winners in an openly-stated objective to keep on-track action close with an emphasis on keeping the race goers happy.
