Not sure I agree about your driving in the wet comment. My first trip out there it pi55ed down all weekend and we had a fantastic time. As you say "Dont race or drive outside your means and all will be well.".
I think you just keep the same mantra - wet or dry. If you're new to the place remember it can kill you and treat with utmost respect. The best advice I was ever given was "Drive it like an A road that you don't know".
Missing the place like mad.
