c/ Has seen 5 wet races this season
d/ And was mullered after a dry race late on Saturday but I smoothed it off in Sundays morning practice.

Maybe on a 150bhp bike wets should only be used once or twice but on a 48bhp bike they are awesome, I had my knee down and set some good lap times and the braking is awesome on well used wets.
