Excuse me? What exactly is that supposed to mean, or is there a joke im missing?
Darren is right on this one, should it come in it will mean closer battles basically, not allowing one car to have a clear advantage over another one due to much more grip.

Just a Joke lad.........changed to the truth

1: The current rules are the tyres hve to be e-marked (road legal in europe).
2: So there is already a limit to make it fair on the front at least.
3: As for the back i dont agree with it from one point of view because we all want to be better or faster. But it it is def a good idea as in it will make it a more even playing field.
4: That in turn will make it more affordable for a guy/gal on a less of a budget to be able to compete against the people with money.
5: But that just means that the money will be transfered to something else ie: better suspension for more grip or bigger width tyres, or better prepped cars for weight etc so to be honest you will never completely be able to stop people having an advantage.

To sum this up i dont really mind what happens and whatever does people will find ways around it.
