Rain increases rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. There's nothing you can do besides weight reduction, aeromods, and driving slower.

That, and make sure your engine bay stays dry enough to warm up quickly, and drive on the lowest-RR spots on the road. So, avoid standing water, and try to drive on the tire tracks of the guy in front of you.
