Agreed.

And this is what happens with App K, we are required to use tyres that only really work well when new or relatively new. I'd suggest a max of 8hrs per set for racing. They can be used for test days after that.

I think the regs are good as they are, as you say, they haven't changed in 25 years for pre66 App K, but Cortinas are 10s a lap faster round Goodwood??? Trouble bring nothings enforced, thats they big problem. It's not financially or practically viable to do so.
Enforcement is a big problem but when the big teams are also sponsoring the event/series the appetite for stricter regulation probably disappears.

This is App K and, as Andy says, rules for other series may be more adjustable.
