Rain will make you a better driver! Enbrace it, learn it and just do it!

There you go! One of he best wet weather tires you can have!

Driving in the rain is a great experience, BUT do ride with someone who knows the wet line. Otherwise you're gonna have a hard time... This is actually something that should be brought up to AI, if it rains again. A lot of people didn't know there is a rain line and were trying to drive the dry line...

I think it was brought up, people just forgot, or ignored it.

Mid-Ohio is downright treacherous in the wet. I'm pretty sure you can drive faster on the regular roads when it is raining lol.

When I was at Barber in the wet there was grip all day. You could run the dry line to your heart's content as long as you stayed out of the standing water.

You had some opinons that you shared with us at Daytona about driving your STI at Barber though...

Great. I'm sure those weren't at all embarrassing.

 

[THE Phen]

Hahaha. I think the phrase "The car thinks it's smarter than me" came up a couple times. As well as "The car is so good, I could close my eyes and still be on the track." Nothing bad at all.

 

[WillD]

Oh yeah those things are definitely true.

I was on ice skates no matter what at Mid_Ohio. Learning the wet line when having Marc ride along and riding with Pablo helped a lot though. My car likes to over rotate because of the autoX setup in the rain whateve the instance is though. Not the ideal setup unless it is super dry. Still had a great time especially runing with a snow tire

 

[Lewis7789]

Ugh! I want to auto-x so badly! Or at least get the temps up above 40 degree for a couple days.
