Am I the only one who's never been able to appreciate a burnout against a brake? The only proper one would be straigh ahead when the tires simply can't handle all the power going through them. May be because of seeing videos of my friends doing burnouts on Toyota Yaris 1.5L.

They hold the brake because it keeps the front wheels from rolling forward, so they can keep the car in place and not start taking off straight ahead from the burnout. You're thinking of doing a brake stand, which is holding the brake in and holding the gas down, then flooring the gas and letting go of the brake.

Yes, It's Clarkson in a Yugo! And yes, he 'punishes' it. The first 3 minutes are fine.

After Top Gear's re-rise to popularity and Youtube, some must be dredging up old VHS tapes out of closets and attics.

If there was ever a car that deserved Clarkson's wrath, it's the Yugo.

The Citroen Vs. Nurburg from 'related videos' in the IED page is pretty hairy. Impressive save from being caught short by the sharp elevation change, just before the first steep climbing corner. It's kind of hard to spot, looked like it came out of nowhere the first time round.

Aww, nuts. Sorry. I can't really speak with much authority, but luck's got to be at least 50% of it, he's going completely sideways with at least his front on the grass at one point. He definitely could've come out of it worse if he panicked or hosed up turning the wheel, though.

I recon the driver @luckily@ saved the day.

I think as the slide got to its worst he shat himself and stood on the brakes (as i wuuld in situ tbh). rear wheels not locked up on tarmacac and front wheels locked up on grass helped to spin him back round.

otherwise howe the hell did he pull that back from 90 degees from disaster.

Because the video was recorded at the Nurburgring. It is considered a public toll-road except when it is closed off for testing, training, or racing events. They even have tour buses that run the course.
