1. Am I right in thinking that at a club meeting (HKC in particular), wet tyres are not marked so you can change them as many times as you like over a race day?
2. People talk about "inters", but I take it they are just ordinary wet tyres that have done a lot of laps? 3. I assume you use "inters" where the track is just damp, as the tread, being worn down, gives more grip, and only use full/new wets when there is a lot of water on the track.
4. What's the secret of wet tyre pressures. Would they usually be run at lower pressures than slicks, or higher?
5. Would you increase/lower pressure if the weather is warmer/colder, or if the track is wetter/dryer or a combination of both?

Sorry for all the questions. We have not raced a wet weekend yet and I know its only a matter of time...
Cheers,
Paul
