The rain was pretty terrible, both going down on Thursday and coming back Monday. We had to let a lorry blaze a trail through the water and follow his lines. Mate made a mistake of using his NS2Rs for the trip

My AD08R's on the Clio were similar, not too bad though if you take it easy.

Came off one of the exit slip roads a bit too quick for the condititons and the back end came out, caught it with a dab of oppo and a bit of throttle.

I go for aquaplaning too - our friend towing a caravan had a MOMENT at that point and didn't even see the Porsche as he was concentrating hard!

Wrote of my 1 year old VX220 back in 2003 on the way down to Le Man due to aquaplaning. Doing a steady speed (about 60 mph) in a convoy. Not accelerating, braking or turning. Those motorways are lethal in a downpour in a light sportscar with wide tyres.
