Some of my best track days have been in the wet. You learn car control very quick.I thought thats what wet round abouts are for!
Its a day when you learn car controlWhats a wet track day like... a waste of time? or just slower and different and treat it as a learning day?

I used to hate them because you don't get the same gforce excitement as a dry day. But as I got better at driving I've started enjoying them a lot, the VX220 is actually a nice car to drift - not sure where the snappy reputation comes from I find it nice and progressive.
This is an NA though. Even with 145bhp it will spin the wheels and go sideways in 3rd gear - I'd be wary of a turbo or S/C in the wet!
