thanks Captain!

I didn't realize that they had any tire options beyond C0-C5 compounds
but that makes sense!

One other factor is the fact that there are no support races for this event, combined with some fresh paving, should provide a challenge to the teams. I learned about this firsthand this year at Road America (as a vintage racer)
the new pavement was AWESOME, but the level of grip off line was significantly lower as it had no rubber laid down!

but since they are the best in the world I'm sure its a welcome challenge

I appreciate your expertise and insight!
