We missed you Robert, but understand that work pays for the hobby and not the other way around (yet...). I've tried the rain too, and prefer to avoid it when possible. I just spent three days driving a Formula 2000 car at le Circuit Mont Tremblant in pouring rain, and was quite ready for some sun! Like you said it would be, it was a total blast! My co-drivers were all owning Porsche GT3's and the like (one had a beautiful new Ferrari F430) and most had a LOT more respect for the rain after doing 360's at speed. Fortunately only one crunch and no injury (except a seriously wounded ego for a GT3 driver...). I wasn't the fastest, but was one of only two or three that didn't spin once in all 3 days. Must be all my experience at driving over-powered mid-engine Panteras!
Hopefully there will be more advance notice next time Robert so you can join in the fun!
