    Street legal race Tyres to be banned in UK

    By 2012 all track based road tyres will be banned in the UK. This means the likes of Michelin's CUP rubber fitted as stock on the GT3 will have to be offered with something else which will effect it's cornering and braking ability.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    It seems it will happen across the EU.

    I am sure the tire manufacturers will come up with a solution.
