1) You arent pushing the car so hard, so your tires aren't going to be decimated
2) Its much easier to find "the limit" and stay there, so its great for learning car control and patience
3) You still feel like you're going balls-out just because its a bit slicker

Keep VDC on, and pace yourself properly. Its fun!

That video is nothing sadly - day 1 was absolutely pouring on one or two sessions. The other 2 were just raining a bit.

It looks like you had the same or similar competition. A Camaro holding up everybody, a Corvette that got squirrelly, a BMW that you slowly reeled in.

How did you like that banked turn? Looks like the Nurburgrings bank.
