I am no expert but the new tyres do seem to be head and shoulders above the old ones. The bad point is I think we will be using more thyres this year as I suspoect they are going to go off quicker. Got out found a few more things I need to do. Seats not quite right for me, couple of itrems to refresh. Seat needs to be supported more. Looks like a cracking track and a good addition to the calendar.

Looking forward to brands

As Mark say's. Just to add a couple of things I found. The tyres without doubt give far far more grip in the wet that the Pirelli's. This also seemed to apply in the drying/dry track where I managed to get into the 2 min 5 sec time. However after looking at the tyres today I reckon pushing hard on a hot day and an 18 lap race you could destroy a pair.

Great day had by all though, well up to a point.
