    the AWD turbo's had a bit of an advantage here.. one GT3 cup car had custom made slicks for the wet the little golf R32 did very well in the wet too

    i thought the GTR would do well with it's AWD..but he spun out too.
    the R8 clubsport (420 badge denotes kilowatts ) had wheelspin the whole way down the smaller straight

    Looks pretty miserable there mate, were you running semis??.

    I had a wet session the last practice day, had I spin on cold tyres, guy in a GTR spun just in front of me, I think he thought the AWD would save him

    I wouldn't be too worried about that R32, with that AWD.

    Wish I got to drive a Porsche.

    Good stuff here.
