Just done a quick 20 minute race against the computer in (97%)the wet, started from last, the NGT cars are incredibly scarey, usually a GT car has an advantage everywhere to some degree, but in the wet, I'm no quicker round the corners, so you have to do it down the straights really. When I hit the tail end of the GT cars thats when the fun started, no straight line advantage, but I could still grab a little on entry to the corner and get the power down slightly earlier.
Ended up 9th with only outbraking myself once at Les Combes, and lapping in the 2:27's so I'm pretty happy. I'm sure I can make soft wets work too after that race. they are superb on lap2, and fade a little, but they don't seem to be getting worse, and the temps are stable.

I know i havent attended any races in GT this season due to several reasons, but whats with the racing in wet? is this for every race? tried to race in NGT race in wet which was a distaster. Damn was looking forward to Spa too.......
What compound and manufacturer of tyres is best for the type of wet race we are going to encounter? (i will be driving a Ferrari 550).
Any tips on wet weather set ups and driving technics (basic explaination/advice!)
Thx, Fly.

A wet Spa was a one off within the Sprint season to spice things up, the other races are all dry. Endurance was a different matter where each race's weather was randomly defined!

Don't know if I'll find any time to practise for this, could be interesting....
Should I use soft or hard wet tyres for this?
