The tyre deal is just madness , teams have got find at least £1500 - £2000 for tyres at the start of the season if there running both surfaces ,and some will have to find money for different rims as well.

There are a lot of p.......ed off drivers about this but because they race an F1 people think they have alot of money, this is not always the case.

People saying thats its about backhanders..where is your facts to proove this. Yes it may go on a little in real life business but there's NOTHING to suggest this is the case. Not saying it is or isnt but think before you post such outrageous acusations on a forum. Good job people take things written online as a pinch of salt these days.

Saying that teams are going to HAVE to spend £2000 + new rims is surely and exageration. Thye would have to buy new Hoosiers in just the same way at the start of the season or when tyres are due. and overally tyre replacement should be less over the season.

Teams were told many months in advance that they're would be an august decision made to which tyre was going to be use and for once this happened. Get over it..and criticise the new tyres if they dont perform as promised. The only people that should be moaing is the Hoosier team, but I'm sure they wont want to be saying anything publically.

First things first...... I have never said any backhanders took place .

Second.......If a new Goodyear is around the £125 mark with VAT, times that by 4 plus 2 for spares thats £750 per car. If you run two cars thats £1500. Plus rims if you need them at £65--to--£80 each. It will soon add up.
You say teams will have to buy new tyres at the start of the season anyway , well yes but not to the amount that the Goodyear swap will be, because you already have a part worn stock built up so you only need to buy at the first meeting , what you need for that meeting.
The tyre swap is like starting all over again.

No, no, no, you don't have to buy four tyres per car plus spares thats just not true Mad

and the drivers know that. The F1s haven't generally run four Hooziers anyway, they run a mix of rally tyres.

The old tyre rule still stands, therefore if you only ran a Hoozier on the outside rear last year, you can do the same next year, but you will be knocking on the door of Mr Goodspeed for that particular tyre.

Having said that, if four goodyears is going to give the top boys the edge over the rally tyres, then yes they will have to buy loads of tyres. Its there choice. Do you wanna race and have fun, or do you wanna win? Similary if a new but Buffed super soft Rally tyre gives the edge at the moment they will use that, despite it costing over £100 new and only lasting one meeting at Birmingham Exclamation

How fast do you wanna go

How much do you wanna spend, to win

This is the question, always has been, always will be study

I am not saying i support the decision either way because i don't know enough about it, but ill advised information isn't helping the situation.

Having said that i noticed at Skeg last night, quite a few drivers were running those wide Hooziers on both fronts again, which generally they haven't been doing for some time Question

Not sure why the change last night, drivers just trying that set up again, or using old stock, does anybody know for definate why last night was different Question

Very tyred now Suspect

Your right Eddie you dont have to run all four Goodyears you can run rally tyres , but how long for because as you say once everybody finds the new tyres better they will have to use them all round. Therefore no cheep rally tyres any more. Not everybody uses buffed new ones !! Also the stagger will be to much with Goodyears ,another reason rally tyres will go.

Knowbody yet knows what will be used for wet weather yet either,..... or if they do there keeping it a secret because not many drivers that I know have been told yet !!!

Ok the deals bin done but take my word theres not many drivers that realy know whats going on , and there all just hoping for the best but most feel its going to get dearer next year.

What the "board" say is there's not enough people who want an EGM, seems perfectly fair and acceptable, if there was enough people then they would have no alternative but to call one!
