Impressive driving.

Every time I se expensive race cars racing in the rain I have too ask why? A different skill set, got it. Great for keeping race costs down...for the track, got it. The risk of a wreck and possible effects on championships make me ask why?

I have run track days in light rain. A great way to learn about grip at lower speeds. But to race in those conditions??
To each their own.

I loved rain racing, did it in karts and also in my MG, I was always a lo budget guy so I looked at rain as the great equalizer, you take HP right out of the equation.

Racing in the rain is awsome..... Best track experience of my life was being 14 in a Kart with slicks and a rain.... Covered in mud but firmly infected with the track bug. Did flip the kart though.... Would think twice before taking the boss on a wet track now that I am a whole lot older (wiser?).
