Yep - depended on the grip in the corner but in one particular corner when I did it right I turned later, swung wider to get some grip on the outside of the track and get the front wheels turned in and then could get the back end around and even a beautiful 4 wheel drift a few times when I got it just right. Managed to keep it out of the dirt which was my first goal - style points were a nice bonus on a few of the laps ;-)
Backend can definitely go quick in the wet - on the higher speed turns I was up a gear higher just to make sure I didn't get it too much trouble..

Ruf is currently doing the job left undone:
