The only real downside is chasing cones in the rain, but that could be relatively pleasant if you have rain gear and waterproof shoes.
I was in Novice group.
C-Street Prepared because I had lowering springs.

I had plenty of instances today where the car went sideways and I recovered, except for my last run, where I slid into some cones after I lost control. My traction control is barely invasive and I don't have Stability control to help me so it is pretty easy to slide even in the dry. I hear mid+rear engine cars are very hard to control once they lose grip.
