AQUAPLANNING IN BELGIUM

[The Specials]

Driving back from Mons Belgium in the company Focus Diesel at 120 kph and in difficult driving conditions and the warning signs about aquaplaning on the overhead. However, the Focus was fine through any standing water at 120kph and so were the white vans. Then we start to slow down and there is a new Porsche 911 rear end into the barrier and badly damaged. He may have been over 120kph, but not much as there are so many cameras around and the density of the traffic does not allow speeding. The standing water was about 100m before the spin and in subsequent standing water the Focus passed no trouble. I can only assume it was not a 4WD or that the tyres were crap. I was really surprised to see the car had spun as I would have thought, like the Focus and vans, it would literally sail through this type of standing water. PS: I don't post much on here, but enjoy reading and thought your Porsche aficionardos would be interested.
