Sweep Racing V2 Battle star

Taking all the feedback from their drivers about their Battle Star tires, Sweep Racing have come out with a solution for extremely rough surfaces. In some extreme conditions the tire lost some spikes or they bent over the treads causing reduced acceleration after 20 or more minutes of racing. To solve potential problems, they have revised the design, connecting the two spikes together and are pleased to introduce the V2 Battle Star. The tires offer enhanced durability, acceleration and stopping power and less squat giving a smaller skid angle for faster cornering. Expect it to make its debut at the 2010 IFMAR Worlds in Thailand in 2 and a half weeks.
