This is what happens when a road is very oily/slick and it's one of the first pounding rains, then it settles (gets slipperier)


....and you try to avoid a object in the road.





FC's plus rain =

I had no issues with my FB, racing clutch, (Lighter than a fc), manual (fc was automatic), and it had comp-r's which with no tread pretty much.

I agree. When racing they teach you to downshift and brake before the corner and if you do have to brake, brake lightly. But never downshift in the middle of a corner. Also, learning to rev match on downshifts will keep alot of wear and tear off your car. Plus makes it for a smoother shift. Once you master the 7 then you will be the king of the road, those things handle great. So much fun to drive especially if you know what your doing.

I use to always get sideways in the rain for practice. I also would practice on dirt roads and do 180's at 60mph and 360's, just to learn how to do it. Also i would do the reverse spinning thing where you drive fast in reverse the spin the car around. After years of driving i can about drive the wheels off of anything.
