Tires are a big factor to minimize hydroplaning. Race teams have a total different set up when running in the wet. Rain tires and raising the ride height for starters.

Yea probably a fluke, kind of a perfect storm of cold tires, cold track and very first turn being wet, also sways were set to my medium/medium dry setting and dampers were set to what I liked last time (which was dry). I'm was also guilty of not really understanding what the ecutek traction control did vs vdc. I'll be sticking with vdc in the wet, it seems ecutek delays the stability part of vdc and not just the wheel slip traction portion as none of the diagonal braking kicked in or anything and it did later with vdc on going down the corkscrew. Once I set the bars soft/soft the next session it was a ton better (maybe should have only softened the rear) but still a bit of a handful, probably needed to soften the dampers and ideally I would have liked a milder throttle response for that day, may be looking into the ecutek Bluetooth for that. Ideally I won't ever be doing another wet track day but it had been dry all season and then was too late to cancel.
