F1GP is the best, in the wet...

Subject says it all. When it comes to wet races, F1GP blows Indycar away.
No doubt about it. The grey sky, reduced visibility, water sprays, are
just so realistic. What are wet races in Indycar like? Well, besides the
grey sky, nothing else visually attractive.

Have you tried running a wet race in 100% distance? I've tried it once in
Monaco. I came in 2nd by blocking the field. I didn't crash or spin (now
that's hard to do in the rain), but just couldn't keep up with the race
leader. I doubt I can do the same blocking for 100% race distance in other
circuits, though...

It is possible - you just have to play about (for a long time) with the
setups... I've even managed a clear win with traction control OFF - which
makes driving in the wet the best thing in the world...

A bit more wing, less front/rear wing disparity, and a milder brake balance -
are what you need.
