As you told me in Apeldoorn the car felt OK but the driver was not.
You have made a quick change to found your form back.
Pitty I was not on the track to watch the A main's, but i saw on sat.d it was very OK.
You did a amazing job and i hope you stay in good form.

Again gongrats and keep on going.
All the luck.

Ed
Thanks Ed, i felt way more comfortable with four days of practice compared to one at ETS plus some changes to the car helped.
Thanks for the support!

Thanks Craig, lol. yea, ill have to get that fixed.

Hi Paul,

Congrats on the win, wish you the best in the "BIG" show.

My question is, how did you feel the no tire additive rule played into the past race? Do you think many of the top contenders struggled more than normal or did they rise to the situation? How off did you feel the traction was compared to a normal race condition?

Thanks

Hi. I felt like the no additive was ok, as long as you could warm them properly (as everybody did) the cars started ok. I think it played a little in to my hands for a couple of reasons, first that additive does make the car have a lot more overall grip, i feel like some of the other teams have had set ups that are capable of being more aggressive to take more advantage of that grip, where as with no sauce a tamer car can be more competitive. secondly i think that sauce provides the tire with more life (adding oil back in to the tire that was previously burned out), i think having this lack of replenishment (if you want to call it) made smooth driving something to be more desired, which I feel like i did a decent job of trying to be smooth and saving the tires. all in all i think that the tire rule was fine. the worlds will be interesting though, Im sure it will not be the same rules and circumstances so you never know.

The tire it self is good, I dont think anyone will say anything bad about the Sorex 36 tire in terms of quality.

Thanks.
Paul
