The countersteering might help if you lose control as a get out of jail free card but otherwise smooth is as fast in the rain as it is in the dry, I've seen pad and wheel running at the front in these wet races so it's fairly even (for once). You might be on to something with the temperature but I don't think it's as simple as just pad vs wheel because there are so many different ways to drive, Womble is well known for being gentle on the tyres so it makes sense if he is losing temperature, maybe some who are more aggressive with the turn-in will hold the heat better.
I'm too slow in the Porsche, if I give away that second a lap I'm going to be driving around on my own at the back falling asleep for 50 minutes, the Audi is nice though.
I feel like I am diving the absolute nuts off the cars I drive. I still can't fathom how you all get into the low 54s, let along the 👽 that get into the 53s. But I'm past middle aged (though not old yet
) but my reaction times are mediocre.
I'm getting close to the 60 mark and I know what you mean about the reaction times, I used to be quick from the start, but these days I require a lot of practice to get the muscle memory to substitute reaction time. That's also why I do well on QT, but suck at races...I feel like I am diving the absolute nuts off the cars I drive.

I have not looked at my DR this week across accounts. Some races it went up, others down. I would guess it is probably about the same as where I started as I appear of have reached the natural end of my talent. Was going to check it shortly...
Ive had this issue in pretty much all my races in some form in DR B lobbies. I can't work out if it's just poor drivers or people are exploiting the game physics.
So I have found that braking off the racing line has definitely helped with getting the car stopped and also on traction out of the corners. Into the Bus Stop and Les Combes, if you stay right of the racing line you can brake pretty much on the dry brake points.
Strangely enough, every wet race I've been in this week has been won by a 911! Having said that, the Audi has looked pretty competitive since the update too.
Challenge accepted.
You are braking to late almost guaranteed bud.
Ha! Made me laugh.
Awesome. Now try the WRX and see if you like it better or not.
I can second that. I've been trying to force myself to brake earlier, even though when driving it feels counterintuitive, but most of the time it gets me much better times.
That's really what it's all about, right? Being buzzed about the next chance you have to play.
B/B lobbies? You are in the driving for fun, driving what you like crowd. Mine have been mostly GT-Rs, and the old Lancer and Veyron. Saying that the Scirocco was chasing me one race and I was surprised at the performance. Generally, I'm not that keen on Gr.4 but this week, I think Gr.4. at GV is better than Gr.3. The pace is slower but also most intense. You have time to react to the curves where-as Gr.3 is more a crash-fest. Also I think the recent BoP changes to Gr.4 (ahem nerfing the Mazda3) has woken it back up.
I’m retired so I was getting 2/day. Originally I was not happy with the dynamic weather but by the end of the week I found that I really learned a lot (RADAR is your friend). It was carnage early but by the time the heavy rain gets there it eliminated most of those that didn’t really care.
This is the wild start and ending of the second race. These are not the results you would usually expect. I was P3 on the grid. By the time it actually started I was in p13 and it was telling me I was about to be disqualified and I was in reverse!
Don't shame.
