Was this confirmed or is this still being decided?

I dont think a tyre competition would work in this era.

On a side note, thanks for making this mikeyd, it was much needed. Can it be pinned at the top?

I imagine that if they win the tender nothing much will change other than the logo.

I wonder if it would be more interesting to dispose of the monopoly and grades and simply keep the requirements of having tyre changes - perhaps two changes required for some tracks?

It would probably also require banning exclusive contracts with certain teams, like they had back in the day.

Due to the size of the community and lack of bots, we currently run a race weekend thread which is pinned to the top currently.

Yeah, I think so. We've had a lot of meta posts of late dedicated to the rules of this community. I don't feel the need for another one to announce they're up and have further discussion.

If it turns out that this is needed, we can always make such a dedicated post.
