Slicks

The specific classes mentioned are "GT and Touring Cars and Prototypes". Out of step with others, but in step for them, perhaps?

HMRN advertised a one off endurance race at Monza CI event this year for their prototype cars and invited early Gp2 cars as well. From memory tyres were to be treaded, but that would be more correct for late 60s.

Just read the CER regs a bit further and slicks are allowed on 1975 to 1979 cars!

If slicks are allowed for `75 on cars in CER would it not make sense to keep cars pre`71 (the most recent FIA period change..) on treaded tyres. Allow post `71 to use slicks as in period ? This would be the most sensible option I think?
