My suggestion is to setup a understeering car. This way you have a better
chance of avoiding losing the car altogether. Use the neutral setting if
you are brave enough, otherwise use a bit more rear wing. Also, don't
setup the wings too much 'coz it will only hurt your straight line speed.
You have to rely on straight roads to overtake, it's scary to out-brake
in the corners.

Setup 1st gear very high. 2nd gear should be further apart than it normally
is in the dry setup. Then setup 6th gear to top out its rpm range in the
fastest straight (in wet speed of course). Finally place 3rd, 4th and 5th
gear proportionally. Preferrably with 5th closer to 6th than 4th is to 5th,
than 3rd is to 4th.

Me too. Just wondering what wet races will be like in WC2/F1GP2.
