Good to see some non-spec stuff happening.

Interesting follow up

In 2018, the JS P217s appeared to struggle when running on Dunlop compounds, prompting United Autosports to make a mid-season switch to Michelin as an experiment. It yielded strong results, as the team won the final two races of the season with the French rubber, and have will continue to use it this season.

However, with Dunlop’s new compound now in play, and the new season upon us, there has been movement. Panis Barthez (one of its Ligiers featured above) made a late switch from Michelin to Dunlop. Though DSC understands that multiple teams were turned down from switching to Michelins due to the French manufacturer being unable to step up its effort enough to meet the demand.

This weekend will go a long way in providing teams a chance to evaluate the situation, with the Michelins again looking quick over a single lap and the Dunlops being at their best over longer runs with the potential for double-stinting.
