So much grip on wet?

Hello. I've been testing under dry and wet conditions, and in wet i have so much grip more. It is exaggerated, in wet with dry rail i was doing 2: 07s and when the server restarts, in dry I do as much 2: 08.5s. And not only the times, but the feelings are much better in wet. I just wanted to inform you
 
This has been discussed endlessly, and we are happy with our tyres, don't really bother to go over all the explainations again - in short it's related to ISI's tyremodel and the dynamics of RealRoad, you'll not be able to abuse any 'tricks' by making odd tyre choices.
 
I think that it depends of track conditions, because yesterday I was driving with a heavy rain and my lap times were about 2:30 - 2:29 with a LMP2 and with this kind of conditions, the grip is very critical for a 12 hours race.
 
It very much has to do with the track conditions. Again theres a sweat spot we can illiminate - but thats just how it is :)
 
I dont say that in wet conditions im faster than in dry. When i enter the server i was doing 2:24 to 2:15 or so in wet. Only when the track starts to become dry is when i have more grip than in dry :)
 
I dont know how the tyres work on RF2, in RF1 u can put more grip in wet or more grip in dry on the tyres. Is like the wet tyres have so much grip on dry conditions. Anyway u know how the tyres work so I'm not going to bother more ;)
