From the article I mentioned earlier.

Line: The line for [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]wet [COLOR=blue !important]weather[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] driving is different than for dry conditions. You’ll notice that the outside of a turn tends to have more grip than the apex. Try different lines and find which one is the grippiest at any given track. Experimentation is key. Also, due to lack of lateral grip, try to make as many straights as possible with slow small turns in between. Instead of long continuous turns. That way, you can be on the gas more. You know: gas, brake on a straight line, complete the turn as soon as possible, on the gas again. And so on.
