Default Two-Wheeled F-Type Stunt at Goodwood Festival

Saw this clip on FB and searched for the reason the car was smoking. It appeared that the smoke was coming from the diff or exhaust by the differential.
Pretty wild stunt, but not something I would want in the history of my car

One way to reduce tyre wear, I guess.

Well except for the outer edges of the RHS tyres, I suspect they might be just a tad worn!

I’d be worried about damaging the alloy wheel rims .....

but seriously, amazing control. I’ve seen him do this in other vehicles,but.to do it in such a low and wide car must be more difficult due to having to keep the narrower center of gravity in such a narrow range.

That’s usually how I get my curb rash. The smoke is oil coming off the diff breather and dripping onto the exhaust.

He didn't even make it to the finish line as he set it down short. And why was he going so slow, what a *****! lol

Well, I've got a question. That looks like V8 all-wheel-drive F-Type with positraction. So the rear wheel in the air is spinning, but why isn't the front wheel in the air spinning as well? Looks like they decoupled the front half shafts but why?

Wow, all I can think about is all the fluids that the engine and differential isn't getting during that entire ride... Car will be on the used market, Low miles, barely driving...
