Sprint Tyres

Is it just me or are other people sick of the contrived racing we have in V8 supercars at the moment.

Firstly let me congratulate Michael Caruso for his win on the weekend, great effort, BUT, when a competitor (ie: Tander) is fastest in qualifying but then has no chance of a race win because he hasn't got a sprint tyre to use in the race that to me isn't racing.

Motor racing is about the best and fastest winning the race and if someone wins the majority of the time so be it, but for organisers to throw in circumstances that inhibit competitors to "spice up" the racing is that going too far.

I think it was Whincup that said recently that if race results were manufactured anymore than they are now he would look elsewhere to race.

Maybe a fairer way is to allow 2 sets of sprint tyres, one set for each race.

Interested to here other peoples opinions.?
