Just forbidding tire sauce is a joke. Only handout tires stored at the race organisation or saucing alowed is a good way. As long everyone can have their own tires you can not forbid saucing.
Sadly there are a lot of people who do not like these 2 options and do believe in a drivers agreement. FORGET IT! For sure the people screaming out loud that they do not sauce and want a legal saucing are the ones who are doing it.

Of course forbidding tire sauce is a good thing. Most people won't do it now, and no one can do it easily and openly in the pits.

Of course you can. Your thinking is flawed. That's like saying forbidding [insert any crime here] is a joke, because it can't be controlled, and the criminals will still be doing it......

Also the funny thing was that when it was illigal the top 10 were using it for years so it seemed. After making it legal these guys were complaining that saucing was too much work..... yeah right, they did not have the advantages of illigal saucing. And we all know the walk to the car on the parking where the saucing is done or the "special" tires are kept.
If you want to be sure no sauce is used you must use a spec tire only handed out by the organisation when going on the track and directly taken in when the driving is stopped. This is the only way to keep maximum control over the tires.

Only the fastest guys will be able to utilise the extra grip with traction compound, not "desperate backmarkers" so the new rule actually helps the backmarkers...
Umm also I thought 1/8 scale racing was open to whatever compound you want to use, so why not just chuck on some softer tyres, if grip is low?

It is a joke. Over here in the onroad we have started to use sauce because many were using it already. A guy made a rule proposal of forbidding tire sauce and he "develloped" a detection method. And see who has an unbelieveable stable car.....
