New PR6 fitted with Nik links (anti roll bars I guess!) I take it the ones supplied on the car would be the medium strength variety?

Where & why would you need the other option available? ie. soft / hard.

Having qualified in the damp with the roll bars connected to reasonable effect with very little time in the car. Then not knowing any different I disconnected both of them for the very wet race, as that was what everyone else seemed to be doing.

To my mind the car did not have as good a handling balance without them?

Nik link bars basically double the spring loading i.e. if you have 300lbs springs the bar will increase them to around 600lbs (roughly - rule of thumb) Removing them for the wet just makes the car very very soft which is ideal for the wet conditions. Personally I removed my permantly but you can't just remove them and expect the car to work, you have to do some testing time to get the car back again.

Thanks Rob, having read that I don't think I am any the wiser!!
Guess I will have to learn the hard way, by having a mess with it during the course of next season.
