Prodrift 2011 tyre restriction

[Dunnedriftin]

dan was not running cheap tires.
one stage he was running rsr's on the back

I remember him putting on the RSR's in cork when he was going up against carpo..

the lowest tread wear i ever ran was 200!!! this was 3 years ago!!! i ran odd tyres on the front of my car this year and still got grip!!!! a well steup car will still grip well front and rear even on a cheaper brand tyre!!!! to be honest i hope it goes ahead as it will even up the playin field for the lads who can't pay big moneys for tyres!!

now now dan... haha

I think a thread wear of 200 is too low for the rear tyres.
It will have some lads swapping the 888's / rsr's to hancooks ventus R-s2 ,witch aren't a cheap tyre either.
I think a threadwear of 230-240 and a width restriction of 245 would do more to even up things.

I'd leave the front tyres unrestricted as the advantage they give towards safety far outweighs the cost or performance gain.

what about the rs2 on the front and the federal rsr on the back last round ha ha ha ha

i ran one set of rsr's in cork!!!! when i heard i was goin up again christy i said id need someting ta try keep 2 em!!!! orther den dat i tink i used 8 new tyres on the rear all year the rest were part worns!!!! i honestly never knew wat a car could grip like on the like of rsr's!!!! but the 200 tread wear ting won't make much odds to alot of the guys that never ran em!!!! i really tink its a gud idea!!

I think its a great idea, and wouldn't worry me one bit, i was running bald rsr's on the front of my yoke from i started PD in may lol.. and running cheap stuff on the back... i've never ever used them on the back of my car.. if i did... i could have had better result's.. but this will make it more interesting next year and it will be alot more fair on the people who cant afford to compete with the bigger lads.. will be great to see how the results differ in 2011

Surely a power restriction would level things up alot more, would it not?

Or seperate divisions for different power bands...?

Power restriction is very difficult to police in any form of motorsport which is why it's rarely implemented

Besides there would be a huge difference between a 300 hp cam and a 300 hp chaser

power restriction couldnt work, but even if you look at Banzi corolla guy, correct me if im wrong but i think his cam is a 1.6 and he's a fuckin demon and beats more powerfull cars
