Time to stick my 50p in the pot....
I was the first people to run foams on my B44 and really kick all of this off. the reason I run foams is that we all run them at South Lakes due to them giving plenty of grip, don't destroy the carpet and are amazingly cost effective as I am still running my set that are on their second season!!!
There were no complaints when I was running my X6 the winter before when I was finishing in the top 3, it's only now that I am as quick as the very top people it has become such as issue.
In terms of making cars with foams slower, I am not sure how. You would do this. As banning additive wouldn't make a big difference with the mardaves still using it, so the track will still give plenty of grip. Making a course that has more lumps and jumps? We do the at South Lakes and it doesn't slow them down at all.
I simply refuse to my mini pins due to the cost implication as to be really competitive I would go through a set every few meetings at after buying tyres, wheels and inserts you are getting up to £30.
Not sure what the answer is to the tyre situation, but these are my views for what they are worth on the subject.
