My setup was pretty similar actually - in desperation in searching for grip, I threw away both anti-roll bars and softened the suspension right down. It did calm things down a bit and sliced three seconds off my lap times, but with the slicks I could only put partial throttle on before the car would just spin out. If I had had softer tyres it would have been better - those rain tyres which worked well were 20 hardness, wereas my not-working-so-well slicks were 27s

Still it was fun and very demanding to keep the car on the track and I was reasonably pleased with my result - doing my best to emulate other known "nutters" who always used slicks in the rain, like Jean Alesi and Gilles Villeneuve It was all about crowd entertainment

And entertained us you did.
