Ladies, Gents,


I recently had a go at Rainmasters - chose to go for a stock FXX on RH, since I try to make every car pay for itself and the FXX is still 1.5M in the red... ;-)

After getting a hang of both the car and the rainy situation I actually had a really good time, playing mostly with my toes on the pedals, never applying more than 50% throttle or brake and managed to stay on the track nearly 100% of the time - except for one turn at Spa in particular, turn 16. After the second lap on my first try I knew about it and was particular careful, but still, the tiniest application of throttle sends the FXX to the right and into the railing (right next to the safety entry, where the railing is painted red).

I'm now wondering: Is it due to my particular style of driving? Is there a bump in the road that makes the car lose traction? I couldn't see or feel anything special driving over it, but I've done the Rainmasters@Spa now about 8-10 times and I'm fairly confident with the car, the track, the conditions in every corner - except this one. I just can't wrap my head around it...

Thanks.

Well, driving in rain on slick tires can't go well, can it?

It works surprising well actually, the amount of rain isn't sufficient to require full wet tyres so Intermediates/RH are about equal for grip in the conditions
 
I can't remember what car I used at Spa (might have been the Huayra), but I remember I used SS tyres. Worked very well.
 
I used the C7 Corevette worked pretty good for me
 
I used a Rocket and was extremely fun..!

I used a Mclaren F1, it was a handful on every corner! I will have to go for a drive and see which corner you mean, I think there was one corner I kept going wide on if I wasn't particularly careful.
 
I had used the X-Bow with slick and it was super fun, my X-bow has 600PP
 
I used the rocket, and had the lead early in the first lap.
