Track days in the wet are awesome IMHO. Separates the men from the boys. :wink: :lol:

Their webcam is pretty useless but there seems to be very little action on track, especially from Elises.

Looked like you were enjoying yourself Ross. How did you get on with the ZzRs?

That was great fun! :)
Was never raining too hard and no standing water on the track.
I don't think the Volvo's tyres & brakes would have lasted very long in the dry anyway!

Yeah had a great night! Loving the wet now! The ZZRs were better than when they were brand new. Took about 10 laps to get them in and get some heat in them but once they were warm(ish) they worked fine. Definitely more snappy than the AD08r boots and I don't think as grippy in the wet. Blow the 08s away in he dry tho.

Followed Dark for a good few laps, the polestar didn't half drag itself out the corners with the AWD... well pedalled :-) nice to see a tesla on the track at the end of the night. How much range did those few laps rob it of?

I saw you spin as I came down dufus and the marshal jumped out with the yellow at Macintyre's. A full 360 to end up pointing the right way takes skill and commitment ;-) you seemed to be going well despite the spin!

Love Macintyre's just seems to suit the wee lotus motors. It easy to overcook on the exit! traction control saved me from a spin twice once there and the other comming out of clarks. Thank fork :-)
