Considering the Ariel atom v8 is the lowest, the more powerful the more tricky a car is invite wet, but I think torque is also a factor. Turbo cars tend to be much worst in the corners in general. The 458 is much faster than the 12C in the wet for example. No matter how much downforce a P1 has, it would be slow in the wet

It is so focused to work perfectly and generate magic amounts of grip at optimal (normal) conditions, that it completely falls apart on standing water like the wet handling track.
Not that it matters at all whatsoever :D
