Advice? Tracking in Rain this Sun at Laguna w/ RE11

sig11 · 12-26-2012, 09:43 AM

Most of the time I really enjoy driving in the rain. You get to pretend you are going faster than you really are.

I'm going to be tracking this Saturday at Thunderhill. I think it'll rain again.

oh no, I saw these cars that day. I remember the Red TE37 BMW...I didn't see him throughout the day.

I did see some people sliding out on the corkscrew. Bummer. NCRC is pretty strict.

What the heck. Why would you kick someone out for sliding?

i know this is an ancient thread, but i found it via search last week before i ran laguna seca in the rain. the tips here were great (especially the one about softening the rear dampers), and well appreciated. i think i learned more on a rainy track than i have in the last year of dry racing!
