Podd37 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Take a 2019 Tea Break with Delta

Hi all.....bit of brain (!) picking required. And mods please move if needed. We are going to enter the Spa 3hr and have noticed reading the regs that the organizers have dropped (at least since I was visited the event in 2017) Yoko AO48’s, which the car has been set up for over the years, off their allowed tyre list. Now, aside from the obvious costs, can anyone tell me what is difference the mandated Dunlop or Avon historic tyres make and what I should consider altering on a small 1300cc fwd saloon to make these tyres work. Are they sticky/long lasting/crap? What are most preferred Dunlop post historic or Avon CR6ZZ? It seems a bit strange as in period (mid 70’s) the car like most saloons of the time, would have run on slicks. I’m asking as I don’t have an unlimited time or finance budget so days of testing aren’t really a runner for me. And the tyres are bloody expensive too!
