Just to clarify that it is any D boot tyre? If so I think it is great I love using them already.

I loved seeing all the top guys racing.

I think Petit is a great event And Nicolas should be commended for bringing so many great drivers from around the world to race together.

I think Nicolas will find it hard to justify bringing the event to the uk again after all the negativity and problems this year.
That would be a shame to lose a top event.

Neil, the jump was fine but the position was not. If you were in the right position on the rostrum you could spot the landing. If you weren't then it was pot luck

[The Chef]

Will there be a shop and does anyone know if they stock Kyosho And Durango? Also will there be plenty of Dboots on sale or do I need to stock up before I come? Advice please.

Thank you. I hope they have good stock. I was thinking of running multi bytes on the front of the 4wd.

[The Chef]

What will people be running on the front of there 2wd?

OOOOH hope they are out super soon

Any ideas when?

[James]

Could these points be confirmed please:

Practice from 1pm on the friday at a charge of £5 ?

FTD Qualifying

All Dboots tyres will be available at the venue on the friday morning - What will we actually want? Nanobytes F + R for 4wd , Rear for 2wd but what for 2wd front - Nanobyte slim or Blockpass? Is it just one compound? What inserts do we need?

Thankyou!

LOL can't get tyres,but at least you can order the DVD!

[NitroArgi]

Hello all,

I was wondering if there is a way to reserve some tyres for the race...we are coming from Greece late Friday night so we will miss practise but I would hate to find that there are no tyres left on Saturday morning!

Couple of questions from me too.

Will the Friday practice be on the track layout for the Saturday or different? What time will Friday practice finish?

If there is any likely limitation on tyre numbers will you restrict numbers and compound type sales to ensure it's fair for everyone?

Would like to know the answer to above and also will blockpass tyres be available?

[Adam Skelding]

There's no limitation on tyre numbers.
You'll be wanting to run nano bytes all round even on 2wd.
The tyres have been developed for each class to be a perfect compliment to each other.
Block pass are really for outdoor.

[The Chef]

Thank you Adam, Can you tell me who has some stock of these? No one seems to have any sensible stock levels? I can't find nano-bytes any where. I'm a little concerned that my Vega will turn up it's own gearbox with pins on the front although I stand to be proved wrong.

[Smartalec]

Adam I think there are two main concerns here, the first being will these tyres be available in the numbers required and secondly it's a bit annoying that some of the team drivers have had these tyres for a while (allegedly) and thus have an advantage.

I also fully understand that they had to be tested to see if they actually work

[The Chef]

Just to know that there will be enough for every one and or some where that we can get them before so we can get them glued up. Seems a bit ambitious to expect 120 drivers to arrive, purchase and glue tyres in the morning.

Also will there be live bbk timing on wifi like there was at the MKGP?
