car dynamics have almost no effect on hydroplaning on a street car.

Aquaplaning, also known as hydroplaning, a loss of steering or braking control when a layer of water prevents direct contact between tires and the road, runway, or other surface. can be done with less than .25" of water. dont ever jamm on the breaks! slowly lift off the gas/brakes and you should regain control.

bottoming out a f1 on the skid plank isnt really hydroplaning by deffinition

love how So Cal guys always bring this up the second a rain drop appears or a lawn chair is blown over.
