Here is how you must drive everywhere. Some braw driving though tyres may become a problem

YouTube - the best benz drift ever...

Bloody hell, he must have been down to canvas by the second lap...

I can't get onto youtube here at work but by any chance is it the video of a black 211 going around Hockenheim sideways engulfing a little Elise in tyre smoke?

 

[matt201]

That's the one

 

[HR17]

A noble means of disposing of a pair of tyres. Its what they would have wanted. Superb!

 

[James Rothwell]

I love that video, makes me want to

a) Get an AMG
b) Learn to control it properly

But not in that order, should probably learn to drive before I get something as fast as an 211 AMG.
Although I suspect it would be wasted on me, I'd be forever driving it around trying to eek 30mpg out of it.

I was able to try this in my own modest way on the AMG driving experience I had at Brooklands. They also do a Silver Arrows display of AMG cars which do it in formation.

It doesn't look like it, smokes up one tyre along most of the straights

Tyre smoke is brilliant. It's childish but in my old SAAB, it was quite fun to see how far it'd spin in 3rd

Poor car, remind me not to buy a used, imported left hand drive E55K
