Or, increase throttle.....^^^ However, on a ramp, you had scant room or time to accomplish a maneuver such as you'd have on a racetrack, where you'd be expecting possible skids, and or have time/space to correct such.

Bottom-line? Don't drive at any speeds on wet surfaces where your outcomes from the wet pavement are totally unforeseen since the last time you scooted around that same ramp.
