New Tire Policy Question

[rev-ed]

With the announced new tire policy of allotting only "so many" tires for races and testing, what happens with guys running rookie tests or Cheever trying out new drivers? Do events like this count against the total or are special considerations made?

I think the tire allotment is on a per full time entrant basis.

I have to believe that rookie tests would have a certain tire allotment associated with them.

The other factor is part-time teams. I gather that Brian will pro-rate the tire allotment for these teams.
