Need a Better Demister?

I bet Rain-X would solve the rain on the windshield but I have a feeling it is not allowed to be used on a race track in fear of oils it contains, making it dangerous to all drivers on the track. Just my guess.

Rain-X is legal in vintage racing as it's a dried film on the windshield that helps bead the rain, but it doesn't help the interior condensation that can be the real problem. The answer if you don't mind sitting in a a deep puddle all race long is an open car as Richard Mayer does. I enjoy the enclosed, dry version.:encouragement:

And for us open-cockpit guys a combination of traditional Rain-X on outside of visor and anti-fog on the inside works well, though I still don't like racing in the wet.

Agreed about the driving in the wet. Watching that clip and pretending I'm in the car racing like that just gives me the willies:livid:.
