Actually the clip is quite fameous in Sweden with the S2K crowd....just ask Swiss S2K. Previously another swiss posted that the car is from Honda's promotional stable and was at the hands of a famous Swiss Race Driver for this photo shoot.....and yes it was in Sweden..and know he didn't have to buy the tires...Honda did.

Frankly, it kind of makes me ill. I saw it when someone posted it a while back. I'm guessing they removed the lines from the back brakes so they wouldn't burn up their rear rotors.

I think this is a good example of what NOT to do to your S2000. Its amusing, but much in the same way we have crash-up derbys. Your certainly wouldn't enter a car you want to keep in a crashup derby.

Just imagine if someone did this with a Ferrari- you'd just think- geez, what a waste, are these guys morons?

I keep hearing that, and I don't doubt it. Could be it because not just ANY moron can afford to buy, keep and store an automobile in most European countries?

It does look like he may have shifted brake bias to the front --- that's what Zanardi used to do in the CART car to do his donuts at the end of the race.
I guess the S2000's brake balance lever is in the second "secret" compartment!

This guy definately has a toggle to apply brakes to only the front because you can see the center brakelight come on and the rear tires don't slow a bit. Some racecar drivers on dirt tracks use the same setup to swing the back end around a corner without lowering their RPM's. This isn't really legal in dirttrack racing, but I know people that do it.
