It's like saying "the M3 hasn't got the same SMg software so it's not fair! Or the geo is different, it's not fair, or it's heavier it's not fair.
They are different cars with different wheels, tyres, SMg, software, diff, suspensions, weight, seats, power, so why pick on the tyres?

Shimmy, I do not agree with you.
The cups tyres weren't a standard fitment, were they?
BMW haven't struck a deal with Michelin to develop these cups specifically for CSL, have they?
Therefore, the argument for testing cars on the same tyres is valid IMHO.
Removing weight off car, changing software to CSL, upgrading engine parts etc etc is something completely different to upgrading tyres - which are a crucial safety aspect.
Cups 2 have come out. If I installed these on my M3 and raced CSL (on cups mk 1) - would it be a fair race?
