it might seem that I care enough to burst but I don't

Craig you are just weird, very few people seem to make a rubber work as well as you do
I am just experimenting to find a good, cheap, fast race tyre that works. And the foams did work at Newbury, we just needed a few more heats to dial them in.
It's about having options. Personally I don't want to be limited to one type of tyre because it benefits a particular manufacturer and is usually disguised as 'levelling the playing field' which you are not achieving if you allow multiple makes and compounds and having people buy their own while others get massive discount on them through sponsorship. If anything, the cheaper foam might just have done a better job at levelling the playing field
Now, if there was a single make and compound tyre rule that is supplied by the sponsors free of charge then that's another story.
