Definitely getting myself to a couple of races this year! So much better seeing it from the side of the track rather than on TV!

Unlike 2012, S2000 and NGTC cars will no longer have performance parity
In all events except Thruxton, drivers will be required to use a new softer compound of Dunlop tyre in one of the three races of the day which will offer "superior performance to the standard compound tyre." However, they must nominate which race they will use them in prior to qualifying. They will have distinctive markings so that rivals, spectators and TV audiences can see who's using them
Cars must now have a matching set of tyres. They are no longer permitted to have a mix of wet and slick tyres

How does this non-performance parity work? Two points tables?
