I read an article about a track day where Panda 100 HP beat Gallardo, Carrera, Subaru Impreza Sti and other big fast cars - as it was monsoon rain. I saw picture series where you see the Panda gradually passes all these
super sports and even AWD Subaru and Mitsubishi, as they all struggle in the monsoon rain that hit the track. Gallardo spins out, other cars cannot enter
turns as fast as Panda and eventually Panda passes them all as because of its relatively narrow tires it cuts through the water better than the other cars with wider tires.
Does this advantage apply only on lots of water? How about in regular rain when there is only thin layer of water on the road? Is Panda 100 HP still
better gripping in bends than supersports? I know my Panda 1.2 has even narrower tires than 100 HP but it does not feel very grippy in rain. Maybe I would feel the same advantage only in monsoon. Do you agree?
