Ah aquaplaning, the ice skating of the car world. To be fair I have seen quite a few posts saying the GTR is not really an all weather car when it comes to handling. I am not so sure if this is true or if it just people expecting too much. After all the car is very quick on a dry road add water or ice and give it a little of the heavy right foot and you deserve everything you get for being a pleb! Looks like she wasn't all that bothered to be honest, reckon it was her husbands car she borrowed for the day

I was about to say the same, must have been someone else's car, she didn't look at the car at all! Having said that, she probably was quite shaken up at the time.

They're fine in wet weather but standing water is not good. The stock Dunlop tyres if you look at them are similar in tread to 888's with limited tread so although hugely sticky when warm (hence the epic handling) when cold they can catch you out & through standing water you need to be on it as if on the power the car will step out quite easily.

TBH, the organisers should have red flagged this event as drag racing in such conditions is a recipe for disaster

In Soviet Russia, water crashes your car into armaco.

It looks like she only burrowed the car to drop her husband's dry-cleaning...

That "track" is janky as hell. Tons of bumps and dips. Then to run full bore in the rain?so stupid.

Lucky she didn't do a Kubica hitting the end of the barrier like that. The cars set off at 46 seconds on the vid and she starts to slide at 55 - 9 seconds acceleration even in those conditions is 125 mph+, the length of steel barrier flies up into the air like party streamer is quite impressive.

Its pretty shocking. Lucky she spin a few yards earlier as it doesn't look like the barrier was all there.

These Moscow 500+/Unlim/whatever seem to be on all the time with new videos coming out. Is it run every few months?
