Default Sebring on board in the rain

I thought you guys may enjoy some very wet laps at Sebring.
I have a nice little spin on the final lap at turn 16 around the 7.30 min mark.. fun

You did good. Too many people try to keep on the track and hit the inside wall on 16. I always tell people once you go off on the outside of 16 just take a ride. Do not come back on the track while moving. You did it by the book. Congratulations

That was a lot of rain.

btw - I think I've spun out at every turn on that track - except 17. I'm too scared (or confused) to go wide left on the 17 exit.

It was very wet. Looked like boats going past the start finish.

You ended up looking brilliant having wets on the car. Even if it was accidently.

That is a bad area to spin in the dry, you made it look like a little dance.

Great meeting you, glad you had a safe trip.
