As soon as you allow non road legal tyres, the cars are then effectively racers. I had a discussion with Dale's mate Mike at the weekend and we debated at what point a car no longer becomes a road car and is a race car. His take is that when a cage is fitted and my stance is when the tyres are no longer road legal.
To me, fitting a cage is simply a piece safety of equipment that doesn't make the car go faster and the car is generally still road legal.
Fitting race tyres however immediately renders the car illegal for road use. It also ups the costs of competition.
