I understand Sterling Moss was fond of driving in the rain because
it sent up a horrendous rooster tail behind his car to which he would
add a bit of fish-tailing to scare the bejesus out anyone in his wake.
I read an interview with Moss recently (I think it
was in International Sportscar or Sportscar
International or whatever it's called) where he
said he really didn't like racing in the rain at
all (who would, I guess). He did however claim to
use the rain as a psychological edge. While
everyone else was complaining and fretting about
the conditions, he acted like he loved it. He
psyched people out and gave himself a bit of an
edge in the process.
Sorry about taking this thread even further off
course.
