Nah, will spoil the drifting IMO.

Driftings only better in the wet when the person isnt a good drifter and needs shit traction to drift.

Wet means slower drifts (down from the 100mph+ possible on some corners) and less/no tyre smoke, which is a big part of professional drifting.

Really hope it stays dry.

Will be the bollocks no matter what though, gonna be event of the year IMO

I gotta do an 8 page feature on it too, so it wont all be fun and games (who am I kidding, course it will )

110+ is rev limit in 4th even on the slightly shorter geared GTST, and like I said, 100mph+ is common for good drifters on the right corners

From what I remember, im sure the entry speed for the 1st corner of the drift track will be a 100mph+ one
