Actually it wasn't that wet. It wasn't raining at the time and the sun was coming out. Conditions were similar to the LFA lap, which did a 1:22.8. But the M8 had AWD. wet times were supposed to be about 4s slower than in the dry. 10s difference could only have been possible if it were like using super aggressive semi slicks in the wet.
