I've been for a few laps at Road Atlanta when it was absolutely chucking it down with rain. It was during the U.S. market launch of the 991 GT3 RS and 981 GT4, and I was chasing one Hurley Haywood around the lap. Down the back straight, which isn't particularly straight, I lost Hurley in the water spray kicked up by the 991 Turbo he was driving …
