Actually, you still auto-x and road race in the rain. At autocrosses, the fwd/rwd guys are always praying it doesn't rain so that the AWDs don't run away with FTD...at least in my experience.

Was the ABS really faulty or was it just a case of the driver blaming the tools?

Driving in the rain is the best way to improve driving skills . Remember how Schumacher ( Formula 1 driver ) buried all competition on rainy tracks ? So , yeah autoxing while raining is a great thing and few people really drives well in this kind of condition .

My 2 cents

Another thing , keep in mind that the 2 RWD pilots are really good ones ( Tsuchiya and Orido ) and the Evo pilot was so so and a bit unexperienced also .


Edit : RWD , not FWD , of course

not wanting to come out as a jerk here, but i believe u meant the 2 RWD pilots. and yes they are the better drivers in the video (i have seen almost all the best motoring series as well). it was a pretty crazy "battle" though..

Sorry to bust your bubble, but waki-saka (evo driver) is very much an experince driver. He's been driving autosports since his late teens. I guess you don't watch or keep up with JGTC.
