Agree about list 1b in sprints and hill climbs. Tyre costs are a relatively minor part (I used to run Yoko A008R's, even with driving to and from the sprints they would easily last a year).
For circuit racing in a competitive saloon car in a competitive series you would be at a serious disadvantage against Mr Moneybagsnewtyresevery race after three meetings, possibly even two if he starts playing with soft compunds etc. On list 1a tyres (buffed Toyo T1R's in my case) they should last six races before giving up a significant amount of time.
Obviously on a lightweight kit car then you could easily double the lifes of both types of tyres.
On Al's heavyweights you could possibly have to HALF the lifes.
Is the problem that list 1a is not really policed at all, at softer compound specials are finding there way in?
