Control tyres on 4wd and 2wd Front wheels!!!

With any suggestion needs to be consideration for scrutaineering. Restricting qty per meeting may seem like a nice idea to cut cost but managing the sketch would be more work - would anyone be prepared to stand for committee as 'Minister of Scrutaineering'?

At the oOple series we ran no tyre rule because we could not be arsed to manage it, clearly at a fun event this is possible, but at the national series the current tyre rule works well.

Interesting point Ellis makes ref one manufacturer per event, sharing the love among them through a series, next years oOlple series anyone?

Hi stu

Managing the sketch of tyres is easy and no real work all that would happen when the cars go though the scrurtineering box the wheels are marked. If a car then comes to the scrurtineering box in round two with unmarked wheels these would then get a different mark (different color or something) this would also get ticked off against the drivers name on the heat list. From then on two sets for each driver would be allocated. How the driver decides to use them is up to them

I also would like to see the allocate tyre being used for all conditions even if it rains if a yellow mini spike is allocated for the meeting that is it. Again got his will keep the cost down dramaticly

At least you would know at any BRCA meeting tyres will cost X amount and that's it

If it was decided to split across 3 manufactures as suggested who would decide which at what track? As most clubs nominate schuy minis. It could start affecting club racing there as people would want to be use to there car on control tire for nationals. But then other club racers chose to run minis as they don't do nationals your then at a disadvantage at your club. Just a thought.
