Aquaplane speed is mostly function of tyre pressure. The predicted speed is calculated by:
9 x (square root of tyre pressure in psi)
So for 40psi it's about 57mph.
Empirical formula so based on observations by NASA.
Shoe repairers.9 x (square root of tyre pressure in psi)

Why take a photo of someone else's misfortune?
I'm also of the opinion that it's a bit weird to look up the details of another person's car in a non-sale scenario.
Very much agree with both points. I'm also of the opinion that it's a bit weird to look up the details of another person's car in a non-sale scenario.
It's not 'documenting a misfortune' it's recording an event.
If the photographer was not a pher but a respected journalist, would you say the same?
There maybe 50 people who look at the pic posted and think to themselves I must be more careful driving today

OP isn’t a journo, it’s just a typical stty post to take the piss. Sad.It's not 'documenting a misfortune' it's recording an event.

In fact I think it’s a bit weird to think people are weird for doing it

Is that Ferrari AWD? Thought not, so its silly of the owners to go bat out of hell in weather like that, there was only ever going to be one outcome. I recall a BMW also going out of control on the M25 or something and posting up on here, again RWD + Wet = Not good
Don't be daft. Loads of people on the forum drive powerful rear wheel drive cars in all weathers year after year without incident. Wet weather makes accidents more likely in relative terms, but they're in no means 'likely' in absolute terms.hyphen said:

Absolutely. I dislike journalism at the best of times because it rarely provides any kind of meaningful learning opportunity. For me this case falls very much into that category; it's a car in a hedge - mechanical failure? Medical problem? Animal in road? Oil spill? Driver error?It's not 'documenting a misfortune' it's recording an event.

I do beg your pardon. I thought the incident may be of interest to car enthusiasts who would think 'There but for the grace of God, go I'.
In fairness, in your original post did say "Must have been a 'watch this' moment."I didn't even think it before someone mentioned it, but now it does make me wonder if this is a sad example of people getting their kicks out of seeing someone successful "suffer."
If it is a member, sorry to see the news! Hope your 430 is back on the road again soon.
Lots of you are looking into this way too much.
In the current climate almost everyone has a camera phone, and these days people even post up pics of what they are about to eat on social media.
This is probably one of dozens of pics the individual took that day and posted onto social media; this one just happens to have a Ferrari that's in a little predicament and it has found its way onto here.
What is more surprising is the bickering that has ensued afterwards, with a little bit of unintentional light entertainment thrown in by Gameface.
For the posters whom have stated 'why take a pic of someones misfortune', well ask yourself if your aghast with that, why did you click onto a thread named 'ditched ferrari'?
It is, however, good to read about the driving gods on here whom havn't at any point been even slightly caught out with a changing road surface from dry to damp in any format of front wheel, rear wheel or 4 wheel drive....i doth my cap to them and ponder why they may work in an office etc instead of being a paid works team driver in the WRC etc...
