As for surface, we could run more dirt in the uk,we used to,we are not the only ones that get rain, world japan, 8th world in us few year ago WET! dirt tracks are quite easy to maintain,BUT you do need another option if very wet.
Yes ok, Iown up I HATE astro 
hats off to all the uk team,fantastic job Great stuff  |
I know Masami did a lot of practice runs a day before the worlds as well but if these guys are supposed to be the best then no worlds warm ups should be allowed and just dirt tracks is way unfair so should be anything that the country in question decides to set up. So if in the uk we could have the option for astro as these drivers are supposed to be the best then lets see it. The us guys wont come first then.
