I gave up buggy racing quite a few years ago, the tyre management got too much. Not just the expense, but the faff of preparing so many sets, I would rather be refining the car, not gluing up tyres. You may as well say your hobby is gluing up tyres and dipping them in acetone rather than racing 
Since giving up buggy racing I have raced onroad classes such as GT12/LMP/Frontie, all spec classes with limited 13.5t or 17.5t motors and the tyres last incredibly well. They have all had the closest racing I have had in years!
With buggies you seem to spend most of your time just waiting for the car ahead to make a mistake rather than actually racing?! Perhaps a stock class would encourage a little more wheel to wheel action. |
You racing at mendip bud? worm still a thing?
