I know why the UK racing scene uses stick radios, it's to give everyone else a chance!

With all due respect to Skiddins, his tyre choice is not what the majority of UK racers are using now. We are on Ulti, Yokomo, CRC and JFT rubber these days. It has been almost impossible to get new Jaco rubber over here for close to nine months now.
We are ahead of you guys on additive. We get SXT over here, but it is not a patch on the Spider Grip Blue and Green compounds we use today. Those give really good grip very early in the meeting, and stay consistent without going into super-high grip. They also work better with the non-Jaco compounds we are, like you, using now.
Yeah, stick radios really slow you down... don't they Masami!
