Rockingham trackday in the wet... [vid]

So yeah, took my S2k to Rockingham a couple months ago. It was wet for most of the day, and on "the slippiest racetrack in the world" when it rains (according to the chief instructor), these are the results. The track had actually dried out quite a bit by this point too. It was hilarious. Tyres were 1/4 worn Bridgestone RE002's but on the road they are nothing like this track in the wet. Hopefully the link works!
Oh and if you were in the silver S2k in the vid, shout out! Great battle at the end of the day.

Nicely controlled! I'm off to Thruxton skid pan next week to try and hone my skills in slippery conditions! I don't mind a dab of oppo on an airfield, but having that much action on a track, close to barriers would be making my pants brown!

Thanks fellas! In reference to the tweeters, my car is a 2002.
Thankfully my first real exposure to track action was drifting which I've done on and off for 10 years now - so slidy action doesn't scare me any more.
