Last night I went to to my local track to shakedown my new 'wet' car.

The track was bone dry, but my wet car with a wet set-up and dry tyres, was very good.

I didn't have any timing gear, or my dry car to quantify any performance deficit, but I'd estimate it to be less 1/2 a second a lap.

As far as I am concerned there are only a handful of drivers in the country to whom having the absolute optimal weight distribution and cog makes a difference. If the rest of us 'muggles' choose to copy them have a wet car and a dry car fine... it justifies the manufacturers paying them if nothing else. But you don't NEED 2 cars. You can compete at the top end of club or regional meetings with one car in any conditions.
