Nah.. just start your burnout and use your left foot to hold the brake. Works on a Tuscan S anyway.

Not that I tried it or anything....

So the idea is to burn out the tires AND the rear brakes by having them applied?

[RolexBlue]

- need I say more?

Another quality report brought to us by PH! Well done Ted

[mycerbera]

Won't play for me! Say's Done in left hand corner though! I wanna see it, any one help?

[mattjbatch]

Have you got Quicktime installed?

[sixspeed]

The brakes will be fine. Most of the bias is to the front anyway (or should be!), and you don't need much to hold the car fairly still...

They've done the same with the R - you can see the brake lights come on just after they start...

This was actually the MD of Evo Mag driving the new TuscanR for the feature at Le Mans... He says that he lit up the rears for some TVR fans with Ben S from TVR in the passenger seat.... And the front brake just stops the forward motion until the tyres bite.....

It flies after that !!

[Barter]

Going by the amount of rubber he left down on the pedestrian crossing (I was thinking of scrapping it off as a momento) he must have had a new set of rears back at the Hotel.
