Just want to make sure I get that right before I advise the drivers I manage and am helping out prepare for the event.

Final question - the IFMAR rules state that the Thursday practice will be organised by the host. Can you clarify the exact timetable for Thursday - or at the very least, the number of runs each group will have. That will then allow us to plan our tyre orders accordingly.

I would strongly suggest that you work on the assumption that for the actual Worlds, no drivers will bring any tyres with them for any practice - because for all major races, drivers expect to be able to purchase their tyres at the event to ensure that they are all from the same batch. Yes, when they attend warm up races or other practice sessions prior to the event, many will bring their own tyres, but not usually for the main event itself. I am sure the tyre manufacturer would be able to work out a sale or return policy for an event on this sort of scale.....
