Karting1.co.uk reports a recent IKR event at the Clay Pigeon track saw competitors using tyres that cost just £70 a set (AUS$128)! The harder compound tyre (Maxxis SLC) has to last several rounds of the series. Apparently, some of the biggest tracks in the UK are looking at implementing more racing outside of the MSA.
