Hi Guys!

I know this seems like an obvious question but I'm not sure it is! I have a Gillard 010B and it kicks ass in the dry! But over this weekend I attended a wet meeting and did shocking. I know that I could always improve on driving but I just dunno what to change when its wet.

On a typical dry setting I give at least 20mm space at the front, and run about 1390 at the back and negative camber for less grip at the back. No tension bars just fully loose and if anything its too grippy...

When it came to a wet setup I followed the origional rules and made it square - loose - and put a smaller sproket on to remove the spin and loss of power. However, this was shocking! I had no front end grip, so added some tow in & even out which made little difference. I went in at the back and out, in at the front and out... I tried loads of combinations and couldnt find a setup.

In the end I went back to the dry setup - and it was much better, but I still feel as though there could have been more front end grip - has anyone worked with this chassis and if so could you reccomend any thing that I could do different? Should I run negative or positive camber/caster.. or ever run tension bars?

I used the old Vega wets for senior max - thinking I might purchase the new mojo wets... and see if they make any odds?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
