8 weeks to go and still no sign of entry forms or tyres.

Can we have an update please?

I assume that we can still run the old tyres for the first 3 rounds, the same as last year?

I'm sure Kev will be along in a bit. I was speaking to (someone) today and they were talking to (someone else) this morning, and the first someone is just waiting for the final "yes" before ordering 30+ pairs of tyres.

Kev said (and I am sure he won't mind me saying this) that the plan was to have the control tyres (whatever the final decision is, although hopefully it won't be a surprise!) available at the test day on 20th Feb.

What happens if i'm not as the test day?

I am fairly sure they will be posting them out to anyone that can't make it. Of course, I could always pick them up for you.... I won't tamper with them or anything. Honest!!

I hope it's a lot more than 30+ Ron. I want two sets and with 37 starters on the Brands grid last year I think demand will possibly outstrip supply very quickly.
As regards The 20th Feb test day. Well not all of us can make that so I was sort of hoping the tyre issue would have been sorted out way before then so they could be tested out at earlier trackdays.
