    How would you compare wet [car performance / your anxiety] to a dry day?

    interesting question - I havent had a lot of experience in the rain but I found if you stay away from paint - curbs, rumblestrips, road markings the car is a lot more stable. Paint is treacherous. I found my lines to be completely different as the water ponds in the turns. As for the anxiety - not so bad once the sky opens up the anticipation seems a lot worse in a lot less water.

    And best of all Buzduz74 won again - Congratulations!!!!!

    Very, very cool! I love races in the wet. Talk about car control.

    WOW!!!

    Just look at the two teeny tiny contact patches of wet rubber that hold you to the ground! I think I'll stick to four wheels. ;)
