How scary is the LC in the wet!

[Mo Arif]

Today's the first day I drove my car in the wet (proper rain), since owning the car for 6 months! my god I nearly bricked myself today, traction control?! what traction control!!! no such thing in the rain. Every-time boost reached halfway, I couldn't do nothing with the car. Yikes!

Is the LCR any better in the wet? due to it's upgraded suspension set-up?

i know what you mean lol i like it tho its good fun on the round abouts

Mine's pretty good, will depend a lot on your tyres. What kind and what sort of nick are they in?

 

[Pyro]

michies but ones on its way out i find that it just kills the boost so i cant do much anyway

 

[Danny_B]

TCS is pointless on these cars imo.

Mine spins the wheels through 3rd in the wet

had 5th on the way home from the gym tonight was good fun

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

If you dont have decent tread and no handling mods, lcrs and lc's and mk. 3 ic are all poor in the wet, my current lc has been the best out the 3 cupras ive had detailed above however needs improving

Wheelspin in 5th? Your tyres must be pretty much totally bald then?

 

[Murdered LCR]

I still switch mine off in the wet run prada spec 2s what tyres do you have mo

 

[LEE69]

Buy decent tyres, i have no problems at all with mine in the wet.

 

[LEE69]

Oh and if the rain is that heavy stop driving like Mark Webber or you'll end up like him on Sunday

Nope just loads of dippy roundabout

iv got mitchlins on the front and i have wheel spin in 5th at 70mph on the M40 next to a scooby lol, he backed off lol what was worse is that it wasnt that wet at all... iv had mine spin just a little in 6th too but only once
mine is a handfull though, slips and slides all over the shop, but more than used to it, my cupra was worse though but i had nasty fullrun tires on that

 

[Mo Arif]

I've got decent tyres, perelli's ?! plenty of thread (sorry I don't know much about tyres etc)

If this is how it is in the wet, i'm so dreading the snow! it's going to be a COOOOLD few months

HAHA learn throttle balance jokes! My ESP has never worked - going around the Ring this year on the last day HAMMERED it down my race driver mate said im a fool not to use traction control in this, lol did have the back end out a few times I have to admit!
But they are like all other cars, just practice and youl be fine love flicking it round the wet twisties!

drive to the conditions and it wont be a problem.

My LCR isnt a handfull in the wet.

 

[Booya]

My LCR is pretty good in the wet. I'm running on Falkens.

Mines much better on Bridgestones than it was on the Pirelli P6000's

 

[Nick-21]

Well i will be finding out soon, its pishing it down up here and a lot of standing water about. Will be interesting with the 225 tyres.

And p6000's are about as useful as a chocolate tea pot in any conditions, dont really know where they got a good name from unless they have changed in recent years, i certianly didn't rate them at all!

Haha, you wana try Pirelli Euphoria run flats! WORSE than a chocolate fire guard!! On a hot track, its like driving on ice - in the rain its like driving on loads and loads of ball bearings which are all oily, and also on ice which has a thin layer of water ontop!!

just gota get me thru the winter before the R888's perched in the garage can be slid on............. perhaps semi slicks would have more grip?!
