ard is on a distinguished road
I hydroplane all the time. (well, in the rain)

The key is chassis control, and never having all 4 wheels off the road. God forbid if you are rotating when you hit deeper water. And of course you slow down if you cannot assess the roadway ahead of you...

The X5 and M videos all involve turning, lane changes in water. And not being able to correct immediately before the rotation develops.

The M3 was stupid- he was drifting to the right, unweighed, touched the shoulder and it was over. The head in hands was painful.

What's that old saying? "He ran out of talent halfway through the corner"
