How is Wet Lap different from Hot Lap?

Same real circuits and controls, but in the wet there's far less grip: corners must be taken much slower, braking distances are longer, and it's much easier to run wide or spin. The coloured racing line shifts redder to show how much pace the conditions take away.

What are the controls?

Hold throttle (Up arrow / W, or the green button) and brake (Down arrow / S, or the red button). On mobile, hold the throttle and brake buttons under the track. Be smooth — stab the throttle or brake too hard in the wet and you'll lose the back end.

Which circuit do I drive?

A real Formula 1 circuit that rotates daily, traced from F1 telemetry — and it's a different draw from the dry Hot Lap, so you get two circuits a day across the two games.

Wet Lap F1 in the Rain

Same real circuits, half the grip. Longer braking, slower corners, the back end always waiting to step out. Tiptoe the limit and chase your ghost through the spray.

How to play

A flying lap in the wet — grip is way down, so smoothness wins.

Brake earlier and longer than you think (↓ / red button).
Corners need a lot more speed scrubbed — the line runs redder than in the dry.
Get greedy and you'll aquaplane wide or spin — smoke and lost time.
Beat your ghost; the delta shows where you gain or lose.

Circuit rotates daily (a different draw from Hot Lap). Best lap saves locally; no login needed.

Scoring

Hot Lap in the rain — around half the grip, longer braking distances and slower minimum corner speeds. Times are naturally much slower, and the wet leaderboard is separate.

Tips for a better score

Brake earlier and straighter; trail-braking that works dry will spin you here.
Take a wider line to avoid the rubbered-in dry line, which is slipperiest in the wet.
Smoothness beats aggression — recovering a slide costs more than never provoking one.

The Formula 1 behind wetlap

Wet-weather driving is what separates good drivers from great ones. The dry racing line becomes the worst place on track, so drivers deliberately run off-line through corners.
