I do prefer AKA Grid Irons when it's ran wet. I am surprised by all the drivers leaving AKA, though.
Naters - I'll gladly eat my words. However, a buddy who played with tons of tires at Silver state (which was ran wet) had said the AKA tires were just hands down faster.

PErsonally? The X compound from proline are next step from everything else out there.

Their plan is to run the track dry for worlds and let it groove up. I heard some words about calcium chloride use is possible as well. Long wears will be huge there.

I can't say wich tire is faster there because I only run pl, and tires at the silver state was the last thing we worried about... Running a wet prepped track vs running a track at the worlds is a hole different story,especially on Vegas desert dirt... Unprepared dry,super rough,dusty conditions.. Hard to say,doubt it's gonna be a tire war there..

From NEO Buggy:

"Murmurs have reached our delicate frostbitten ears of an imminent ‘reshuffle’ at one of the higher-profile international Factory chassis teams with rumours that at least one of their top name drivers will be packing their bags for pastures new – just as the 2016 season begins to stutter and splutter into life after it’s annual slumber & holiday-season hangover hibernation."

Most of the Kyosho drivers have been confirmed as staying. I'm thinking HB. Or maybe XRay.

Xray a big brand? Just kidding

Things are quiet around Ronnefalk, I haven't heard of him since the Euros. And not forgetting Hara is stil free agent.
