New for 2006 – Fulda skills test arena

Fulda Tyres and French Car Show have teamed up to provide the live skills test at French Car Show 2006. Fulda Tyres will have their full event team as seen at Autosport International Live Action Arena complete with show artic and support from HiQ tyre fitting services.

What does this involve?

This involves volunteers being put through their paces on a skills test track (on tar) through cones on their standard tyres. HiQ will then fit Fulda Performance Tyres and you will be put through your paces again to see the difference.

so i presume this means using your own car and getting it possibly in a state if by tar you mean wet tar (unless its just me being a dumbass) do you get to keep the tyres afterwards or do they swap them back over?

I think this is being taken the wrong way.

You will have a short slalom type course laid out with cones and drivers will get a lap or two. This is not going to eat your tyres.

Its not a skid pan, its not wet (unless raining), it will only be a couple hundred metres (not like driving on the circuit).

It's a very popular attraction at shows.

I don't think Fulda are aiming to wear your tyres.

OFC they aren't its obvousl to anyone who has anything about themselves that its not gonna eat your tyres......anyways tarmac is kind on tyres, its concrete that chews them up.

It will be free and fun.

I think and am only guessing there will be limited opportunities as they are changing tyres. Cannot imagine more than maybe 25 cars during the day.

But to keep the attraction moving they may be able to do far more, more details will follow.

i'm up for this then... i'll bring me knackered PE2's with no wall or shoulders left on them... still think they will be better than Fulda's though tbh! lol

be nice if we can keep the Fulda's on after though, or put ours back on and have the option to load the 4 Fulda's into the back for spares 8)
