Don't need to speed to become airborne,. It can happen to anyone if using cruise control invite conditions. But yes an expensive lesson oops

Indeed. The bigger lesson is probably moving from a more traditional layout to a mid engined RWD car. The pivot point is very different to anything else, and this combined with a rapidly changing level of control in an aquaplane situation will surprise an inexperienced driver.
Also, the transition from control to loss of control is much faster in a mid engine compared to for example, the pendulum effect from a rear engined car, or the plough on understeer from a front engine FWD car under most circumstances.
Probably not showing off or going too quick (well, clearly too quick for the conditions), just total inexperience typical of a one hour owner of very atypically handling car. All speculation of course but IMHO the most likely scenario.
