I read an interview with someone from TCR UK who said something like - we know everybody at Goodyear, we can phone them, or go and see them any time during the day, we wouldn't give that up.

Also, the teams are unhappy, very unhappy for having to pay an extra £2500 for hard tyres just for Thruxton - their budget is that tight.

I was not suggesting they would

The point i am making is that TCR world tour should not have its own tyre supplier if the premise is them racing with the other TCR series. That was the concept

The first 3 races of this year TCR world tour are stand alone events. They might as well just bring back WTCR
