I raced at Jubliee in the final weeks that it existed, it was all tarmac with astroturf track edging. It was mega mega grippy because the tarmac never got a chance to be exposed to the elements, so retained a lot of oil. We were using Sorex 28s and 32s in winter (even racing one Boxing Day!), occasionally additive, and lots of tyre squeal.
I ran 12th no problems with just additive on the rear tyres.
