Stop making things up, there is nothing about using tire traction compound that just kills after 20 years or so because I know more than a few racers who if that was the case would be long dead. Just don't drink it or leave it on your hands and if you think your indoor track needs a less-irritating solvent switch to a less aggressive set.

Limiting the tires is also not a bad thing as now you cant setup your car to the limit of the traction and just slap on a new set every run, its now a balance of performance versus tire management which every one can do ! agreed some will be better at it then others. (new skill to learn)

This will be my first worlds and am really looking forward to bumping shoulders with the guys i have only seen on vid's. so in summation, if its the same for everyone, it will still make for great racing ! and I cant wait !!!!!

I'm also in favour of banning additives. I made a decision to not run additive, (It makes my skin irritable) and after tuning my car it works fine. I regularly get the fastest lap at our club.

A new comer will see all of this witch-craft with people putting chemicals on their tyres and it just looks odd, What form of motorsport ever does something so ridiculous? I think it is really strange and I've been racing for 20 years, so no doubt it confuses beginners.

Controlled tyres, with no additive is the best way for the sport. Tyre strategy will become important, like most motorsports, and will make it much easier for newcomers to come to the sport and enjoy racing.

F1 the pinnacle of motorsport uses control tyres, why cant we just do it?
