I have a shed load of footage to through but this was the general condition of the day. Snow greasy. Just enough snow to keep the track like a ice rink. But I had immense fun in the little 5.
Really under rated car. I was struggling and succeeding with the car all day. I don't think there is a better way to hone your skills than to drive a 5 on track as fast as you can in Super dynamic wet and greasy conditions all day.
This was not even a driftylap but it happened. Fastest laps are the ones without drifting. Trust me when I say it's harder not to drift and go fast in the conditions than it is to drift and have fun. The drifting for me is not intentional. I miss this day already.. over took many cars. Car and driver are in harmony.

I done a day on that track layout this time last year.... absolutely Loved it!
It was raining when we arrived, dried out during the day and then rained again towards the end of the day. Like you mention it was sooo much fun, learning the track in the damp and wet then being able to go balls out in the dry then being able to push hard in the wet for fast laps..
Really wanted to get to one again first part of the year but the car has other ideas!
