Pardon me for being thick but that pic looks like its wheelspinning with the handbrake on, but how would you get a handbrake on a twin engined car?

i saw it in 2004 or 5, cant remember, but either way, it wasnt as quick as i thought it would be
they kept having trouble with it, broke 2 shafts, and then they gave up
should be better this year with stronger boxes, and presumably shafts
its a weapon all the same
twin engined cars are the way forward, just a shame its a nova not a corsa...

yeah, think that was after breaking a shaft on the line, then running with one engine for the rest of the strip
i wasnt expecting to see it again, but i'm pleasantly surprised

Back end wil have more traction...
front wheels spinning faster as less traction
