I agree with you Roger.
I remember the days before control tyres. You were always chasing your tail.
Some meetings you could buy as many as 5 sets of different tyres and you still might not find the right ones and then they never got used again.
At least with the current rule some Schumacher yellows and Ballistic greens in your tyre bag will see you through. You can order/glue your tyres before the event and have more time for car set up etc. Setting your car up is difficult enough without adding another (very expensive) parameter.
As far as I can see Brushless and Lipo have saved the sport as we all have plenty of speed and power. The worry of not finishing your race because your cells have gone flat has gone. Plenty of people have come back because of this. Don't drive them away.
Lets not go back to the old days.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
