[911jon]

Of course it is fun! A 911 can be remarkably quick in the rain, it's all about smooth transitions and balance. a bit like riding a powerful bike in the rain, smoothness is everything. I wouldn't agree about the hot hatch thing, but you might have a bit of bother with a Subaru.

In the UK we have little choice, you have to drive in the rain (bit like Seattle!). But never avoid it, it won't hurt your car (unless you are a concours type) and can teach you a lot about driving well in general. On good tyres on the track, your lap times should be surprisingly close to dry. The grip is out there! on the road your enemy is spilled diesel oil. I keep the window a crack open, and use my eyes and nose to detect that.

Drive safely, and have fun, wet or dry.
