Watching those videos will likely be the highlight of my day! Thanks.
Senra, did they say why they don't use winter itres on the cars? Was there any discussion about the utility of winter tires at all?
I think I mentioned that Rauno Altonen's car had winter tires with spikes. There are two videos of him in the site. One is him arriving in a blue C4 and the other is filmed from inside while he's driving. The last day we did a hot lap with him driving. You might know that he was a professional rally car driver. He is now 67. I asked him and pretty much he said that probably the only reason the cars had the normal tyres was for the look
His car again had winter tyres and spikes. We talked a bit about it and he said that it made sense to use winter tyres in a place like finnland where you spend a long time with snow on the roads His car had a sticker in the dash indicating max speed was 190. Again, none of us would get even close to that speed during the training so I guess his response in terms of big tyres just for looks was probably correct
