Rain
We were going to make this a wet weather challenge, but wet weather requires paid mods. Please let us know if you're happy for that. We will write up a guide for this if we have a wet challenge.

I’ll have to try to improve this coming weekend!
Edit - After giving it another go real quick I really noticed how stiff the car is. It’s so stiff that throughout many corners one of the front tires either doesn’t touch the ground or it skips across the tarmac.
While that is manageable, it’s quite difficult to get the trail braking just right. Due to the stiffness and low contact patch you end up easily locking a front tire trying to eek out that last bit of turn in. Usually I'm quite good at braking but I'm still locking up a bit multiple times a lap.
There's definitely another second or so left on the table for myself before I start having to get sweaty lmao. It’s a tricky car to drive fast for sure!
