I'm happy with not running any additive on foams as it will make little difference to grip.
However I have tried to run no additive on rubber on tc and its disastrous. The compound 28's didn't have quite as much grip as usual. This itself isn't the problem. The problem was the extra sliding around meant the tyres over heated. They then started squealing badly. And then where useless. Gave no grip and destroyed the rubber.
So we can't ban additive on tc as its counter productive. And will get expensive replacing destroyed tyres weekly. Also, the rubber is dry by time it goes onto the track so this isn't the problem (as years of tc have proved).
The problem has only recently come about because of the much higher number of foam and CS additive users.
So this was hence ban the oil based additives. the tc stuff aint oil. I'm happy for people to use the lrp additive on foams if they're not happy with using nothing. But hopefully nobody will mind going no additive at all on foams as the foams will drop the additive back on the track. Whereas rubber tyres don't as they go on the track dry.
