Hi Guys, I'm new to the DD series and hope to joining you next year. Whats the deal with Tyres? I hear that its one make only, no warmers (gulp) but that you get amazing deals with Dunlop??

Yep Dunlop qualifiers.. No wets, no warmers but they are terrific so .. No worries either ;-).

DD'ers get special rates, check out details with Skidlids for next years deals, cuz I won't be buying any.. retiring Lol.

How quick do they warm up? After the sighting lap?

easy yes. Flat into the first corner presents me with no worries so you should be fine

just don't follow Paul Payne, especially on Pembrey warm up laps.... PMSL

ar now that doesnt count - they were brand new and I was adopting the Appleby method of bedding them in------'take it slow one lap then cane it' would have worked too if it wasn't for those pesky kids!! (for kids read wet patches!!!

They're the best tyres I've ever crashed on.
