I did a memorable take-off on a wonderful English day--hard rain and 20 knot crosswind component-in the Challenger 300 some years ago. Vmcg is 111, min speed scheduled take-off, V1 of 116 at Biggin Hill. I wasn't handling, but it took healthy amount of aileron and lots of rudder to keep it straight. After clean up, I mentioned that was a setup for an upwind engine failure which drew a confused look until Vmcg was explained to the pilot. The discussion was interesting for many reasons including how poorly and perfunctorily performance is trained.
