I respect all you guys who drive track days in the rain. That is not in my wheel house, not into the weather on the track.
Even Autox in the wet annoys me and I am terrible at it.

Two things that are my kyrpotonite, wet conditions and slaloms. I suck at both!

I really think a lot of guys who hated or were scared of driving in the rain have a new love for it now.

SST fluid changed, clutch feels silky smooth now. I think it needs to be done more often, probably once a year.

Think the rain really amplified the weight transferring of the car. being so heavy, I really got a feel for why shifting your weight is so important in different types of turns.

I always found the right-left transition in the chicane to be most challenging in the dry and you could definitely feel it in the wet.

I found that if you take the chicane going about 25 mph, it's a very smooth transition and not too challenging.
