More Rotax News: Mojo have developed a new dry “D3” tyre which is intended for the Rotax Max DD2 category. It is supposed to be similar in grip levels to the medium compound Bridgestone (YKB) and Vega (Blue) dry tyres. Rotax has confirmed that this tyre will be used at the 2008 Grand Finals and the 2009 Grand Finals as well. They have also confirmed that the tyres used for 2008 and 2009 Grand Finals for Juniors will be D1, and Seniors will be on D2.
They have also developed a new “W2” wet tyre (finally!), which will hopefully be a big improvement over the W1. From my experience the W1 worked very well in monsoon-weather, but on a normal wet or damp track they were very difficult. This will also be used at the Grand Finals in case of rain.
