Had a nice rumble with some Belgium drivers at Rucphen for the final race and came in 5th overall after having a blast at the wet track( i need to get me some pitsu rubber tires for that )
Going to compete again next year again with my F103 and if that one will be banded i will get my F104W into the battle.
The tires from the F103 work great on a F104W

Hope the 103's won't get banned, they are still for sale ! (lotus version)

Missed the 2010 and 2011 Tamiya Final events :-( but have good memories of the 2009 edition (a shame that there was no F1 then, and although I was second to last in the Mini's, my 3 sons did pretty well that day :-) )

-> if the local guys at any track are helpfull by sharing the tire 'secrets', it would be a whole lot less expensive and not so time-consuming!
-> when there are no spec tires at an event, the recommended types should at least be mentioned in the rules !

Hope to be in Rucphen in 2012 ! :-)
