For road racing, I wouldnt do the wet sleeves... not to mention, I dont think the power of a road racing car is going to touch on the power where wet-sleeves would be in the discussion. Imagine trying to track a 1000rwhp 370z... that would make a great video but it would probably lose to 350rwhp all motor cars with good drivers.
I wouldnt put wet-sleeves on the discussion table unless we are talking about 800+ rwhp.

Couldnt agree more! You wont be seeing me push my car at the road course... I may take it to play with the wife (in her nismo) but I wont be pushing it. a 1000hp car on a road course turns into this:
Gas down the straights >>>> Break like hell!!!>>>> Coast through turn>>>> Gas down Straight... Rinse and repeat... you do not gas a 1000hp car mid turn... because wherever that nose is pointed when you hit the gas is where that car is going...
