You can't. Goodyear only brings one type of tyre to a Grand Prix these
days and there's no point having a wet race tyre since there ain't no
rain :(((

For a few years now, Goodyear have only brought one compound to the race
so this is all you have. If you look on the "tyre and plank wear"
screen, you will see it is different at different circuits, but all cars
have the same.

No wets because no rain....

Cheers!

   F1 races are conducted in the rain.  

   I believe Monaco was started wet and dried during the race.  This
contributed to only four drivers running at the end.  Wasn't there one
other wet race this year?  

   I remember being thrilled with the Schumacher/Hill duel in the rain at
Spa last year.  I believe Suzuka was also very wet.  

  The Indycar race here at Portland had several rain squalls.

  Under severe rain I think a race might be stopped.  

  We don't ALL drive around in the desert, you know. : )

  I guess I'm a wimp, I remember being helpless in World Circuit's rain
races.  I can live without them, but I agree, "real men, and women"
should be able to choose them.  And they should be part of the "Luck of
the draw" during a season.  

  What's the word on not being able to shift at Monaco between Loews and
the tunnel?  Has anybody duplicated the problem Renzo reported?  

  I'll start racing Tuesday, I hope.  If anybody sees it in Portland, Ore.  
sooner, please post or email.

: Can you, or anyone, comment on the frequency of rain in racing of this
: type?
: I've only seen one race in the rain, Belle Isle with the INdycars this
: year was a wet one. Other than that, I've never seen a race run in the
: rain. It seems to me that they wait for the sun to come out and/or
: reschedule. Any comments on this?

JEB, you need to get out more often ;).  The only time they reschedule
an F1 race is due to earthquake.  The only time IndyCar waits for
sunshine is if they are racing on ovals.  The Goodyear folks are working
on a rain tire for ovals.  But I don't think we'll ever see it for
open-wheel races.  Probably not even for NASCAR.

Although this is not common, usually there is at least one or two wet
races per season. I sure hope they will come out with a patch to allow wet
races.

Still awaiting the arrival of GP2 here in the New World (USA)

Cheers.

If there's rain during an oval race, the race will be stopped or delayed. On a
road course, the cars race in the rain unless the rain is REALLY, REALLY BAD;
then the race will be shortened or delayed.

Well whoever said you only used wet weather tyres in the rain though,
at the British GP for the first friday practice session a number of
the teams (including the top teams) sent their cars out for a few
laps, on wet weather tyres.

Not because it was raining, infact the track wasnt even damp, the reason
was that the teams wanted to try and start to clean the track and try and
get a fix on track conditions, without using up any of the seven sets
of tyres they had for the weekend.

Has to be Senna at Donington '93.....sheer magic. Also Alesi's STUNNING
drive at Suzuka in '95. Until the track dried out and the Benneton was
able to establish superiority, Alesi was whopping 5-10 seconds a lap off
Schumacher - amazing.

Cheers!
