in my 986 grand am car, it ALL was removed, and so we used a Coolsuit helmet air blower with the hose pointed up into the vent area for the inside side of the windshield and feed air in from passenger naca duct. gives some air flow to interior but puts cool air onto the windshield and helps defogging.

I ran a race at cal speedway in hail/driving rain. I run without a heater, but do duct the standard fresh air system to the inside of the windshield. I also added shaving cream to the inside of the glass. Kind of messy, but I had zero fogging.

At 125 mph rain-x and air flow worked better than the wiper on my 944 at event at Cal speedway.

If I had the diligence to apply it regularly, I would use it on my street cars.

I'd rather have wipers and slicks in the wet than no wiper and rain tires (per below). But I'd also have RainX applied.
That said I'd have em all (and a hairdryer works great as defogger).

Anti-fog trick - Spray brake cleaner on the inside and wipe off with clean towel/terry, your racing buddies will not believe you until they see it for themselves.
