I ran the Sprint 2 911 with the flux brushless on those X pattern tyres at Yateley last year. Yes it was slippy, and Yateley is not the most grippy track either, but you just had to adjust how you drove it. I actually went quicker with my touring car there for the rest of the day as well, as the Sprint and X patterns magnified the mistakes I was making and getting away with on Sorex, showing me where I could make up time.
I think the X pattern tyres will make for a more exciting 24hr race than running with what would be too much grip on a 32 race tyre.
