With early period cars running in the same race, slicks on the later cars would be dangerous. Yokohama or similar less so, but they're still able to generate much faster cornering speeds.
It's interesting because I thought one of the reasons for allowing AO48s previously was because the Iberian Historic Endurance cars (that form quite a big proportion of the grid), ran on them. I've just tried to find their 2019 regulations, but nothing on the website. However, their 2017 tyre regs for Portimao are the same as Spa 2019....
So if those cars are on Avon ZZs or Dunlop crossplies in some form, I would suggest everyone will be.....
