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

@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.

believe it or not.. i actually did this very same thing last night while turning a corner in my r33 skyline gtst. Ended up taking out a "keep left" sign back quarter panel is fucked, until it happens to you i don't see anyone comprehending how annoying it is when you lose all steering :/

You just gotta feel bad when you hear the crunch.

poor guy :/

The reason its wrong is that the differential won't apply retarting force evenly.

He should use brakes to regrain traction.

That was brutal.

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