Very important information for anyone competing at the BWOC event on the 7th/8th February 2015. As you know there was no control tyre for this event, however due to huge concern by many competitiors this has been looked into. The BRCA ruling was actually slightly changed a few years ago and there must be a control tyre for this event also, just like at the National Series. However, the same as the National Series there has to be 2 nominated tyres allowed. As you will read in ...the link below, the control tyres for this event will be the Schumacher Mini Spike and also the Ballistic Buggy Mini Spike for the rear (driven) wheels. The main thoughts behind this, just so you are all fully aware, is so that it limits the amount of possible different tyres options, that could have been used at the event. We had a huge concern that without any control tyres in place, someone could just turn up with a tyre that just works and no one else may have had it to use, our thoughts in choosing these control tyres is that the majority of people will already have them in their pit box, from racing somewhere outdoors during the summer or indoors. If not and you need to buy tyres for the event, the shop on the day will have tyres available for people to purchase. We did consider using the Schumacher Mini Pin as a control tyre, however as this event is ran to full BRCA rules, many of you will find that with these tyres on your car, it would be too wide and fail scrutineering, so to make life easier for everyone we chose not to use this tyre for the event. For people who aren't already aware, the Schumacher yellow Mini Spike used to be ran at the venue and was about similiar pace as a Mini Pin, so it will work well and give you grip. Prior to the event, the different tyre combinations I shall personally test and the results will be made public for you all to see about 2 weeks before this event, so that way you all have a good way of knowing what best tyre combination and compound to start with at the BWOC. Finally, anyone thinking they can attend the next Worksop Masters event just to test tyres ready for the BWOC, please don't think you will be able to do this, any cars without the correct tyres on for that event will be checked prior to going onto the race track and won't be allowed on, we are doing this to make it totally fair and a level playing field for everyone. Please pass this info on to anyone you think might not see it. Still about 20 spaces left in both classes, please book in if you haven't already done so. Hope many of you agree with what we have implemented, we have done this for your benefit and to help make it a great event. Please read the link here for more information:
