Took me a very very long slow time to get home from a rainy autocross on R-1's in the rain one time. Very nerve racking. Even got passed by a police car when trying to leave a stop light, bet he was laughing at me too.

Have also run into a couple of heavy rains on the highway that my BoxsterS was way too dangerous hydroplaning over 50 mph. Pulled off at the first exit to wait the heavy part of the rain out. Twice it was in the same part of Texas between Waco and FT Wort and there was at least 4 inches of water on the highway.

Ran into several harrowing driving experiences daily driving a 944 Turbo, 928 GT, and BoxsterS that I also autocrossed for years.
Got tired of changing tires for autocrossing with the 944 turbo and went with the stickiest non-dry only tires I could get on the other two.

Towards the end of the 944 Turbo ownership autocrossed it with Yokohama racing rain tires, they were A034R. Really liked the really soft edge vs competition R-1's. Kept giving lots of forward traction way farther into the slip angle than the R-1's. R-1's would stick, then just let go. While i'm sure the R-1's would have been faster on the track, the A034R's were faster in all the corners of an Autocross course.
