JP,

JP.. Look at your email :thumbsup:

It's nice JP that you do a recap of the most important info from the euroindoorrace.com site in this thread, but
you probably forgot the most important part of it all and that is: there is a mandatory(6mik) tire to be used on this event, and this tire is not really widespread. My guess is that a lot of drivers were not aware of this at the moment of inscription, even though it was stated on the dedicated euroindoorrace.com website :thumbdown:

Is there any data on the tire ?

What compound works best (Bleu or Purple) and how long do they last ?

And will they be available at the race ?

Only just noticed this, if anyone has run these tyres what is the feedback. As Janus says, how long do they last and which compound do we require? Also what tyre for 2wd front?

A few of us are holding fire on this event now till we get some info..

Thanks

Will there be a set I could try this weekend?

The 6Mik tire rule was added later, before the only reference for rules was FBA rules ( which means Schumacher Spike 2 )

For 6mik tires, blue compound is the best (purple is too hard)

According to the 6mik website the indoor compounds are still under development???

In the belgian distributor list I noticed this email adres: [email protected]. Now is mister Mikovic always at the EIR, and I assume he will probably carry a large stock of tires for sale

I don't want to be rude and I appreciate all the people that put such an event together and respect their efforts (a lot), but I still don't think this was a good idea. I know from a lot of people they were not aware of this...

I think it's time for some extra info about this particular race and these tires, don't you?

- Is the MiniSpike2 going to be forbidden at this race? Yes or No?

- Was this "exotic, not widely distributed" control tire rule added before or after the inscriptions?

The EIR race has always been a very well organized event, which attacts lots of (inter)national racers from all over Europe. I bet my (inscription)money on it, that a fair amount of racers will just pass on it, because of the tires... at least I will.

It would be a shame the minispikes2 would be forbidden, as I mainly participate this race as a training for belgian/dutch championship.
When the race is fully booked, and it's 6mik only, I will consider the leave my place to somebody else.

I have the same feeling on this tyre as you guys.

2 spots will be free if we can't use the minispike2.

Though I cant comment on tyres choice for this race, the 6MIK crunch is be becoming more widespread.

We have a small sample batch leaving this week from 6MIK which a few UK guys will lbe testing (Both Purple and Blue) with a view to us carrying them in the UK and making available through the usual stockists for the EIR and for general use.

Hi All,

Where to buy\order these bloody 6MIK tires and which compound-model of it, guys ?
I am also disappointed about tires.

Agree to have it highlighted somehow in advance as the really significant change in EIR rules. I had almost finished my order of shumacher tires for EIR and luckily was able to cancel the order after occasionaly noticed 6MIK requirement at this forum.

Any info on tire life ?

How many heats can you do on a set of bleu's ?

3 packs maximum .

ouch.... :cry:

How much overhang do these tires have? I mean, how much do they protrude from the sidewalls of the rim?
I'm worried about the width of my car with those tires mounted.

I was told about 20 min in total. Like four races.
There available blue and a bit harder purple compound.

What about front tires for 4WD buggy - blue or purple ? Any ideas or experience already ?

but....... 20 minutes for humans means about 4 to maybe 5 for my driving ;-)

What's the deal with the standard inserts?

Seems that they are very hard and heavy. :eh?:

sigh............ double dotted tires
 

Does anyone else have this ? A purple dotted tire with a bleu dot later placed over it :eh?:

(note: they were sold as bleu's)

I have a set with a red dot and also blu added over it? :confused:

I contacted 6Mik, here is the reply:

De band op zich lijkt op een mini pin, maar voelt aan als een big shot, ben benieuwd...

klopt. de markering zat ook aan de kant waar geen merk op staat. zodanig die er niet afgereden werd. en steeds kon gecontroleerd worden.

Iemand al getest?

Welke inserts werken want heb hier een set liggen met de bijgeleverde inserts en die voelen zeer hard aan + enorme zwaar?

op de Christmas Race hebben we gewoon met schumacher medium gereden en dat werkte perfekt.

Yep, er moet gewoon foam in. Niet de molded inserts.

Ik zelf heb er Dboots inzitten

Top.
Is de grip te vergelijken met mini Spike?

Great news!!!
 

Bonjour, Hello
Suite à un problème technique sur leur presse d’injection, 6mik ne peut nous fournir la quantité prévue pour le jour de la course à l’Arena.
Nous venons de prendre la décision d’autoriser les pneus 6mik Crunch ET les Schumacher Minispike jaune, pour les deux catégories

Due to a technical problem on their injection molding machine 6mik can provide the quantity for the day of the race at the Arena.
We have taken the decision to allow the tires 6mik Crunch AND Schumacher Minispike yellow, for both categories


Bien à vous
Best regards
JP

Gaat wel voor chaos zorgen want blijkbaar zou die Mik band iets sneller zijn :woot:

Ze kunnen die 6mik banden nu maar beter helemaal verbieden anders gaat het idd nog ne chaos worden :-)
Op de astro stukken is er niet veel verschil tussen de banden maar op het hout en de klinkers gaat de 6mik veel beter.

Ben eens benieuwd naar de reactie van de piloten die van heel ver moeten komen en er dan pas achter komen dat ze de juiste banden niet hebben. :o

Ik heb 2 sets gelijmd liggen maar heb er nog niet mee kunnen testen.
Is de set up van de wagen anders met die MIK band want heb er nog niet mee kunnen testen?

Wesley heeft ze zondag geprobeerd 1 run en vond ze super ook op het hout meteen vanaf nieuw de minispike moet je echt wel 1 akku inrijden moeilijk hoor zo maar als de 6mik beter zijn en er zijn er niet pfff

Die 6mik nu gaan verbieden nadat een aantal piloten hun stockje al ingekocht hebben is ook niet echt een loofwaardige optie. Misschien beter gewoon de bandenkeuze helemaal vrij laten zodat wie een goed alternatief heeft, daar ook gebruik van kan maken?
Al bij al is dit een op zich staand event en geen deel van het BNK ofzo... de zin of onzin van een spec band ontgaat me een beetje in dit kader.

Where is photos ?
 

Did anybody posted photos\videos somewhere ?

Does anybody know which site/magazine the professional photographer was working for?
