We haven't had any votes for almost a week, so the votes are closed. Spa, Monaco, Edinburgh, Wicklow, the Nürburgring, Monza and Silverstone are safe, and as discussed with some other members, the Bangkok Street Circuit gets an automatic spot to guarantee a non-European race.

Three more circuits are on the bubble and need a secondary vote. No circuit should make the calendar if it has less votes than a circuit that doesn't, so to make things simple, I'll open up a poll. You can either get Brands Hatch, Rouen and Rostock, just Rouen and Rostock, just Rostock or none of them.

August 20th 1955, Soviet Grand Prix qualifying

No one seems to want to win this championship. With two races remaining, Alberto Ascari still has the posthumous championship lead. Anyone can still take the crown from his literal cold, dead hands.

-Following yet another failure in Edinburgh, Baron Trod van Hoff has run out of money and has ceased operations in Formula One. Edgar Barth has been left out of a drive.
-After Bernie Ecclestone's quick withdrawal from Formula One earlier this season, he's decided to nonetheless travel to the outskirts of Tallinn for this race, with himself and Stuart Lewis-Evans.
-Due to travel costs, David Hampshire has left Roy Salvadori in Britain for this event and will drive the sole car.
-The second Loyer of Roger Loyer will appear at this event, alongside main driver Alfonso de Portago. Rumours that the team boss has lost interest and will not return have already been thrown about, as well as for the Porsche works team.
-Due to high costs, Ecurie Voeckler have decided to skip this race altogether and head straight for Monza.
-In a special one-off entry, the Hernandez car is to be driven by American veteran Travis 'Spider' Webb. A second entry was planned, but ultimately scrapped when no driver could be found.
-Truly the life and soul of the party, the revolutionary Guidobaldi is back, but this time, without Philippe Etancelin. For a race in a communist country, the East German Theo Fitzau was brought in. Jacques Pollet was initially supposed to drive in Estonia with Fitzau taking the wheel at the Nürburgring, but when the German round was canceled, Fitzau's race was moved forward.
-Maghreb are still sending their car to Estonia, but for political reasons, Louis Chiron is driving the car under his own name, and the high-ranking members of the team will not be attending.
-Neither Tasman nor Reatherson could afford to make the trip to the Soviet Union, a bit strange from Tasman, who, after all, had already come all the way from New Zealand...
-Tony Vandervell has also decided not to send his Vanwall team to Eastern Europe, although this is due to his open mistrust of communism.
-As planned, BRUNEL have skipped this race and are headed straight for Monza.
-Due to Bob Sweikert's AAA commitments, another driver had to be found for the Soviet Grand Prix, and it's motorcycling superstar Geoff Duke who will have a go this time.
-Rennkollektiv EMW, despite their East German connections, will not be entering due to cost reasons, and neither will David Murray's Ecurie Ecosse, who weren't planning on entering any race past Edinburgh anyway.
-Finally, multiple drivers from the Eastern Bloc have been entered for this race, in cars that look suspiciously familiar. Czechoslovakian ex-racer Julius Kubinsky has entered a combination that he calls the JK Mono with a Tatra engine for Jaroslav Vlcek. Another JK Mono-Tatra has appeared in the serious official Soviet government entry. Successful Soviet racer and speed record setter Mikhail Metelev is to drive this car, while a "Kharkov" has been entered for Pavel Baranov and a "GAZ" for Vasiliy Kuznetzov, both of whom had occasionally competed in Formula Two before.

Autosport wrote:Farce at Soviet customs as three British cars are seized; three Great British drivers prevented from taking part in Grand Prix.
In an absolutely outrageous turn of events, three Bentley cars were seized by Soviet customs upon entry to Estonia for what was called "random checking".

British drivers David Hampshire, Stirling Moss and Kenneth McAlpine will not be taking part in this weekend's Soviet Grand Prix after customs officers seized their cars for what they were told was "random checking". They were also told that their cars would not be returned to them until Wednesday at the earliest, preventing them from taking part in the upcoming Grand Prix.

Interference from the Soviet government was a major concern ahead of this race, and already these concerns have been validated. Will this become a recurring theme this weekend? Already the organisers have announced the scrapping of pre-qualifying for this weekend and the introduction of a random qualifying running order.

What a shambles.

Shortly after Theo Fitzau's run in the Guidobaldi, the session was stopped when a tree not-at-all-suspiciously fell onto the circuit in a zone with no spectators. Shortly thereafter, the session was canceled altogether and the provisional standings declared final, with 15 drivers yet to set a time. The organisers decided to randomly select the five remaining starters, leaving numerous teams to complain about the decision. Notably, title contenders Desmond Titterington and Tony Brooks will not take the start.

Well, we planned for this eventuality, well ahead of time. As previously discussed with the team, Louis Chiron will step aside from his Lancia D50, to allow Hernando da Silva Ramos to take his place.

Wouldn't it be great if Trabant would buy a Cooper T41 last minute and be allowed to start the race? Offering De Filippis to drive, because she is female and the DDR is a very feminist country? *puppy eyes* (obviously just a stock Trabant engine, which will blow the minute the cars starts)

I want to push Maserati to run Pilette in the sole remaining active Cooper in the Italian GP so i can at least prove that the other drivers have been rubbish and there is still a little tiny bit of potential in that car, which can be exploited in 1956 when grid sizes will shrink.
Also i like to beg all Cooper Customers (and other customer teams too) to invest in Maserati for 1956 in a similar fashion to the Cooper programme. Slowly, there's light at the end of the tunnel. Cooper and Maserati will stick together in these days of darkness, and in some years, all other teams will be jealous of this partnership. We will have the last laugh! (no really, we will)
Besides, Cooper wasn't race-winning until 1958 in real life, so we still have some time

Nope.

Also, for the sake of fairness, I'll need captain_getz's confirmation that the deal mentioned by Biscione is indeed valid before I move on to the race.
