...in the Viper and boy is it wet out there! Car was fine when accelerating and braking. It only lost traction on a really tight roundabout where I could feel the back end trying to swap places with the front hehe

Hurrah for low speed moments like that. Much better that having the back step out in third gear on the dual carriageway and a timely reminder of how unenthusiastic those rear tyres can be in the soaking wet. Take care out there mes amis smile

I have the same problem in the Lotus, big fat wide tyres on wet roads and when the boost suddenly comes on a whole load of wheelspin...

More *[Esprits] have been pranged 'coming off a roundabout in second gear...' than I care to remember.
