Yeah, it definitely isn't extremely wet. The car does slide a bit through one of the corners because of the wet though and Clarkson does say something about it.

Obviously the Top Gear car testing isn't the most scientific thing there is, but it is still a pretty good indication of how well a car is on the track.
