Track 3: Wet Road Course<\/h1>\n<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

Track 3 is a .9 mile long wet handling road course (also configurable in a .45 mile length). Because the track surface has a consistent 0.5% slope, the water depth is precisely controlled. This makes it ideal for studying wet handling characteristics, hydroplaning and lateral adherence, in addition to fine-tuning wet weather driving skills.<\/p>\n
