Plenty of Hot Air in the paddock, so boiling a kettle shouldn't be a problem   I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather, than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins Ducati 748S | Ducati Hypermotard 1100S | Ducati Panigale V4 SP #876 | 600-620SS DesmoDue Racebike #111 <-- Sold!! | ||

Thanks also for being willing to push hard enough to crash in the name of finding the limits of the tyres in the conditions. I think that inadvertantly, with Ady having been there on Rosso's as well, we've kind of covered all bases with the test as he seems to have a decent enough pace to test them at that end of the spectrum. Kev has added a good scientific aspect to it, what with taking temperatures and trying to keep parameters as balanced as is possible in this situation. I feel that the best job has been done given the constraints, and that we have a reasonable outcome. Cheers chaps  | |

If you honestly think that this was the intention, then you're beyond help The point CB is trying to make is that *if* the series allowed tyre warmers then it would be fine if you were in a garage, otherwise you would need a genny to power them. You'd probably need one anyway at places where there was no electrical hook-up in the paddock, such as Mallory, Cadwell, Castle Coombe, etc. Having to go out and buy tyre warmers and a genny (remember you need quire a powerful one to run the tyre warmers) would be touching £1,000 ... that's the same as some people paid for their bikes! So the point was that tyre warmers (and thus the generator you need to run them) are banned from use in DD.

Perhaps you could just run that by me again, my degree isn't in literacy, so I'm not sure what you are saying. FFS  | ||
