Tyre choices announced for Brands Hatch races

The drivers’ tyre choices for race day at Brands Hatch have been announced, revealing who will use the softer compound in which race.

In a new initiative for 2014, the tyre choice will be announced on Twitter at 10am on raceday. The rules are the same as in 2013, meaning every driver has to run the softer compound tyre in one of the three races, unless it rains.

Dunlop has changed the construction of the tyre for this season, meaning there will be a bigger difference in performance between the soft and medium tyre compounds.

As with last year, the soft tyre has a white sidewall, and the medium tyre has a yellow sidewall.

Race one: Simon Belcher, Hunter Abbott, Robb Holland

Race two: Mat Jackson, Alain Menu, Jack Goff, Dave Newsham, Aron Smith

Race three: Andrew Jordan, Matt Neal, Gordon Shedden, Colin Turkington, Fabrizio Giovanardi, Rob Collard, Jason Plato, Sam Tordoff, Marc Hynes, Martin Depper, Nick Foster, Jack Clarke, Adam Morgan, Tom Ingram, Rob Austin, Warren Scott, Ollie Jackson, Lea Wood, Chris Stockton, Aiden Moffat, James Cole, Glynn Geddie
