Just before he aqua planned you can hear him lift off the throttle, the result was the rear wheels slowed down and lost traction causing the spin

@Memphis35 When you let off the gas and don't have good traction, the rear of the car wants to keep moving. It kind of goes against logic but letting off of the gas at the wrong time (or too aggressively) can cause a spin out on wet or dry.

he had no chance of getting that back! quick reactions tho..
@111teamomori13 жыл бұрын
The car rides on the water and when you back off the throttle there is not enough grip for the road going past to turn the wheels and overcome the compression in the engine. The engine just falls to idle and the rear wheels are now turning much slower than the fronts, similar to pulling the hand brake.

To all the people who are correcting what he has done, regardless of whether you are correct or not, the car spun so quickly and with so little warning that there's practically nothing you could do. People like Senna could avoid it but people like him would probably feel it coming before even the most seasoned drivers.

@jadrum31 I know how it feels, hydroplaned through an intersection and T boned a durango.... In my defense I honked for a good 5 secs.... He could have payed attention lol but I was kind of funny because I had enough time to say to myself. Well lets see if I can play frogger with my F250. In this guys defense you never let off the pedal in a mid engine vehicle especially one as light as the lotus, due to the mechanics of front to rear weight ratio, and what this does to tire grip.

Never drive my latest Lotus in the rain. Come to think of it, it does not go out if there is a cloud on the horizon.

lifiting off is the last thing you want to do if the car is aquaplaning, he should have held a balance throttle and slowed the car with the brakes, failing that dipping the clutch wouldn't have been too bad, leaving the engine on overrun requires grip from the rear wheels grip which he didnt have, hence the oversteer developing

@McMatt373 Lifting in this scenario would have made it worse because the weight would have come off of the rear tires.

@Boardy1846 I agree haha i was just saying in a less immediate hydroplane I feel like that's what would work, nothing this guy could do though
@mikeep66613 жыл бұрын
Sounds like he lifted off the throttle as he was entering the puddle. Short wheelbase car with weight behind driver. It's gonna swap end.
@MattCresciRacing14 жыл бұрын
idk i think that if he lifted off it would give the rear some traction so that it would stop fishtailing and not try and overtake the front of the car

@moekakke14 жыл бұрын
I'm also not sure this is aquaplanning because the rear got out of line. Normally the front should slide away and not the back. I call this loosing control.

si yo tuviera un carro como ese lo pensaria dos veces antes de correr con lluvia
i didnt even see a wheel twitch to cause it to hydroplain! and it didnt look like the road was tilted at al!
@ZekenNekez15 жыл бұрын
Yes, but I think he felt the start of aquaplanning a bit before, and this is why he releases the throttle (yes, not the best, but it's a instantly reaction).

The reason its wrong is that the differential won't apply retarting force evenly. He should use brakes to regrain traction.

That's why I never drive fast in the rain. If this wasn't a race, you shouldn't have done it either unless you were just trying to get better at driving with rain. Aquaplanning is something you can't control...

ooooooo......he was too harsh on the throttle let off while still in gear. Big no no when it's wet and going fast.
