We need to be sure that if anything new is suggested, then it is policeable. You say blues, ok, yeah i'll go with this. Can you be 100% sure that someone has a blue in front of you and not a yellow??
I'm thinking aloud to a certain extent, not saying that it isn't possible, just wondering i guess.
It has been mentioned about having something different in the sidewall - like the comppound. Has anyone asked the manufacture if any of them would be prepared to do this?? As it will certainly add a cost. Would the racers be prepared to stand any added extra cost??
The touring car section mentioned having something new moulded into the wall. I seem to remember all the main manufactures saying that they might be prepared to do it, with enough notice, and a guarentee of a certain number of tyre sales. In the end Take Off were chosen, and because they had the monopoly of all 3 national series, they did mould BRCA into the wall. However, when they came, they were different to the ones we had the previous year (this was allways denied, but essentially no-one believed the denial!!), but they had 100% monopoly, so we were stuck with it.
