How does more mechanical grip create closer racing?
A car that is harder to drive on the limits is more entertaining to watch, creates more passing opportunities and helps us see driver skill. Or is lap time more important?
To many, lap time is everything!
Personally, I don't see the need to widen the tyres to get more grip.
A different vendor (michelin or bridgestone).
Going to a lower profile (17" rims) would also help a great deal.
And widening the track slightly would help as well (185-190cm).
Do what I listed above and the drivers wouldn't know what hit them.
No reason to widen the tyres and create more dirty air for no reason, when there are other ways to get the additional grip the drivers are asking for.
