I have momentarily lost the rear end once, doing around 50 in third around a fairly long corner in slight damp. I was a bit too eager on the pedal as the corner straightened out and the rear twitched out. Instincts kicked in and thankfully I didn't end up in the Armco or sat facing the wrong way around in the middle of the road. That said, what feels like a huge twitch when you are in the seat driving could probably be an inch of movement on the rear.
The car had the grip though from the front end point of view, it was my driver error for putting power on too early. It wasn't that hard to recover, but the adrenaline did pump for a good few minutes after.
IMO the damp is the worst condition to drive the car in grip wise. It feels like you are driving on that slimy moss-like film you can get on driveways. The tyres (run flat at least) simply do not grip and actually perform better when there is some water to move off the surface.
