I hope you're right on this one Mike as Schumacher have had a monopoly for far too long imo

yer but unfortunatly there were several issues with using the grp, wear rate bein a major one. we at oswestry tested them, but they just werent that great on our track as the schumachers. and from a club point of view, you dont just pick a tire cos of its cost or to get it into the market, you choose it because of how well it proforms on your surface.

the other issue was the fact that there main factory went up in flames and they have not attempted to get back into the 1/10 tire market since
