The biggest gripe about the current tire ruleset is that within the rules there is wording that makes any ruling based off an opinion - regarding if you're granted another set of tires or not.

What constitutes you being able to replace your "one" set of tires? It's all up to a personal matter not black and white. What if you brought 3/32nd tires to the event and destroyed them? Is that acceptable wear?

What if you had a pig heavy FWD car that simply just punishes the tires? Will it be ruled not in your favor because you "drove too hard"?

What if you hit curbing and caught a gator or something which causes damage to the tire? Is that not in the spirit and thus not granted a change?

I get the whole idea of the tire ruling, but it's simply stupid. This doesn't even go into the potential for rain, and now you're risking people who are going out on worn Rivals or RE-71Rs who may have a better tire for the rain and suddenly it becomes a safety issue.


The biggest issue with the ruleset, as mentioned earlier - is that you have club racers determining this stuff and it's matter of fact all personal opinion. It was simply pointed out yesterday that per the wording in Touring - final drive swap is acceptable but yet they clarified that "This wasn't their intent". There seems to be no clear flushing of the rules and it seems very rushed to try and tap into this gold mine, IMO.

It is funny, they sold this whole TT aspect as "Have fun come on out". Now all the sudden we have a shit ton of rules and stupid language as they're trying to make something out of it.
