Glad you got your car a try in the wet/rain. Fyi, many experienced guys here had run their 1LEs in wet weather in either PTM Race, or all off on stockers. I will not recommend it to just anyone, unless a venue permits swapping ends without wrecking a car. And of course, driver skill is absolutely key here: i cannot stress this point enough. But, to clarify, stockers do very well in the wet, as long as there is some tread left in them. No reason to smoke crack instead

Also, as far as PTM Wet: it DOES matter tons. Anyone that thinks otherwise: please turn it off (at your own risk!) and see what happens (again, at your own risk!). Why does it matter tons? Firstly, suspension is in Touring, to provide most mechanical grip. That's the softest setting possible. Next, TSC is in its most helpful, standard setting vs competitive one, allowing little tire overslip. Lastly, ESC is set to even *beyond* its standard assist, to permit only minimal slip angles/yaw before intervening. In other words, NO other setting provides this much support to a driver. Period. Full stop.
Hope this will clarify a few things to the folks out there. Cheers and keep er the shiny side up
