I raced that awful YBN which was the worst tyre I've witnessed in Karting, the reality was that the harder tyre went off after only one meeting whereas the softer tyres went off slower over several meetings. You had to buy a set of YBN's per meeting to be competitive, I never had that money so once we went to YBN's I was only competitive on the rare occasion I bought a new set and only for one meeting, even at Club level!

Technology should have moved on, but it would need some serious testing before I was convinced it's a real move for economy!

Oddly enough at the same time the class had the best wet ever produced for an economy class (if there is such a thing), so I prayed for rain a lot.
