We need to test a full grid in the wet. As with the night race, you may need to turn your graphics detail down to get decent frame rates. Also note we are using a different password for this event, which will be announced later. Don't try using 'tba' as the password - it means "to be announced".

Following around here with those spray plumes will be an interesting experience ....which I'm going to miss.... :'( The race at Anderstorp was great, I'd definately be interested to see what hit the fps takes from a big grid in the wet.

Monza in the wet ...you sadist Actually, I chose it as I think it will be a fairly easy track to learn in the wet, not many braking points. With the game just out I know people haven't had a lot of time to practise. Valencia in the wet would be sadism.

BTW best way to improve frame rates in the wet is reduce Headlights to low and Reflections to Low. You may want to reduce shadows to Medium or High as well as you probably won't see much of them in 100% rain anyway. Biggest FPS improver of that lot is headlight effect to low.

I'm gonna go with the Viper, and probably the La Force 2003 one. It has more torque, but worst tyres (Pirelli). Interesting to see where at the back I would end with that tank in the wet. I did a practice lap of 1:53.025, which feels like tortoise speed

Good point Don, I'd forgotten about that. We should be using our own versions of the GT & NGT classes which allow a few more cars like the Corvette and Morgan.
