    Last years Greenwhich concourse was hold totally in the rain. F-cars included and Enzo, F40, 250 GTO, 288 GTO and many others. Not to mention an original 427 cobra, Porsche 959 and many more. All in all a good time despite the rain.

    I like the photo of the open car--I believe it's a Monza?--with the umbrella on it. The car is so glad that it's actually smiling!

    Isn't there a large risk of hydroplaning at that speed?

    180 kph is only about 113 mph. Ferrari F-1 cars go over 180 mph in the rain. With good tires (not slicks) 113 mph is no problem. Stay away from deep puddles at that speed though and make no sudden control movements. A little hydroplaning (one or two wheels at a time) is fun. Disclaimer: Don't try this at home. Professional driver on closed course.
