Whats a wet track day like... a waste of time?  or just slower and different and treat it as a learning day?    

Its a day when you learn car control  
  I thought thats what wet round abouts are for!
Some of my best track days have been in the wet. You learn car control very quick.

I used to hate them because you don't get the same gforce excitement as a dry day. But as I got better at driving I've started enjoying them a lot, the VX220 is actually a nice car to drift - not sure where the snappy reputation comes from I find it nice and progressive.

 

This is an NA though. Even with 145bhp it will spin the wheels and go sideways in 3rd gear - I'd be wary of a turbo or S/C in the wet!
