Back at Laguna after 2 months and it was a wet one. Heavy rain for the past day with on/off showers throughout the day meant the track never fully dried up and at the T3 apex there was a constant creek that made the turn challenging and caused a few incidents throughout the day as well.
Overall it was a good day. I don't shy away from a wet event because there's so much you can learn about your driving, your car, and your setup. We went from full-wet with puddles and wipers, to mixed localized showers, and eventually a more consistent on/off light drizzle with sun.
Here's two of my fast laps later in the day when the track was mostly dry.
I drove more conservatively with no expectations of good lap times today, but surprised myself - twice!
