    Some drivers told: "I am happy I dont need to use Pirelli tyres on my way back home from the event."

    I assume they were using very low tire pressures on this event since it was so slippery?
    Which again caused some of tires off the rim

    Of course they defend Pirelli; as an official supplier, it's best not to say anything bad.

    Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???

    They can explain all they want.....Rally cars have been cutting on Tarmac events for years, I don't recall so many issues.

    Yes, lot of issues were with broken rims which caused the punctures. And it was not about so much cutting than usual or lower tyre pressure like usual... Pirelli wet tyres are working completely different than Michelin ones. Also in mixed conditions Pirelli tyres are different than Michelin.

    So what is the problem then. Is it really the tyres simply can't handle cuts? Genuine question. Seems a bit too easy to blame the tyres for everything.
