The 'Unicorn' Solution
It is a good plan, to put all the cars on new tyres all the time, in every session, in every practice, in every qualifying and in every race... and the times will be representative of the genuine speed.... Here's hoping... |

Not a massive drama. Here in the UK there is a chap who sells tyres, discs and pads from BTCC and he does a roaring trade with the track day crowd.

Presumably that works differently from the guy at the Donington GP who got hold of a can of Ferrari Agip fuel and put it in his XR3. Apparently the RAC were impressed it managed nearly 20 miles before melting the engine!
