The Wet Lap

[rhinochopig]

I've only driven on track a couple of times when it's been very wet and I don't mind admitting it, a car snapping sideways at speed in the rain is bloody terrifying.

As a result I've always loved watching drivers / riders who seem to thrive in these conditions.

So post up your favourite wet laps please.

Here's one of mine...

Patrick Depailler.

I also have a memory of a Ducati at possibly Donnington - think it was Bayliss riding but could be wrong - where the rider kept falling off and then remounting and then lapping seconds a lap faster than anyone else. So if you remember who and where and find a vid that would be splendid.

And this cracking clip of a 911 Rally Car. Shame it ends badly.
