We back to back tested our >40 lap wk 28 tyres with our 120+ lap old wk 16 tyres at Whilton on Saturday. We conclusively found the wk 16 tyres quicker however my driver felt that the wk 28 were getting better and should be ok. On race day we used the wk 28 tyres for race 1 & 2 but he was struggling so much with the front end not gripping we changed to our wk 16 set for race 3. He won race 3 comfortably and set the fastest lap, in the final we used wk 16 tyres and again were miles quicker even against the vastly more experienced S1 numbered drivers. If you have read the Talko statement you will see their recommendations however, one of the basic rules of Karting for me has always been ; believe nothing you hear or read until you have tested it for yourself. I have back to back tested those tyres twice with the same results, that�s more than conclusive for me!!.
