Riding on full wets for the first time is a quasi-religious experience. I used to be wary of riding on a wet track, and now I actually look forward to it raining. Just about the best fun I've had on a track (and my best result) was a soaking wet race at Thruxton last year, with standing water everywhere and spray so bad I could hardly see. I was one second a lap slower than I'd been in the dry the day before!

Still, one of the most enjoyable trackdays I ever did was a wet one at Snetterton. There were about eight of us left after everyone else had packed in and gone home at 9am, and I spent the whole day wobbling round in the puddles.
