2008 Nats tyres

Looks like Schumacher may be the tyre suppliers for naxt years Nationals, if you raced at the Nats last year you can vote for what tyres you want to use next year on the BRCA website via central booking.
I think it would be great if they do win as they always get pushed aside when it comes to tyre supplying and there obviously good tyres as no one has ever moaned about them not like they did with the RP 30 BGL's last year, but I'm sure the picky Nats drivers will moan about them next year for one reason or another.
I'll be using them all year as I will be doing tha BTCC, it's a bit cheaper series and you dont have to have to much time off of work like you do for the Nats now that they are 2/3 day meetings.

it would seem fair to share the choice between all the manufacturers.just wish they can balance performance and durability.

If you have more than 1 control tyre it can get expensive so sharing between the manufacturers is not a good idea. Many years ago when TC's went from foam to rubber we had the top drivers using every tyre, wheel and insert combination available, this meant to compete with them you would have to have £400+ of tyres in your pit box at any one time, very expensive.
