Three Sisters run slicks in the wet to keep the cost down and as a result this allows more teams to enter. This has proven to work over the past year or so with constant large grids.

Also, racing slicks in the wet around Three Sisters can be great fun!

The best advice I can give about racing Three Sisters in the wet on slicks is practise. I am unsure what kart you have, but it will be a lot easier to handle in the wet than the rental karts.

In the wet you need to think about the line you take around each corner and a lot of the time this involves experimenting to find the line with the best grip. The majority of the time in the wet you are best to stay away from the normal dry racing line, as rubber on the track + water = less grip.

If it does rain watch what lines other people take and experiment. However, take is easy and be aware of other karts around you because it is amazing in the wet how quickly another kart can be right next to you!

Hope this helps.

Mark
