What is a "handbrake turn"?
A handbrake turn is a driving technique where the driver uses the handbrake, also known as the emergency brake, to quickly make a sharp turn. This is often done to make the car spin or slide, usually by pulling the handbrake while turning the steering wheel. The handbrake locks the rear wheels temporarily, causing them to lose grip and allowing the car to slide into a turn. It is commonly used in motorsports, such as rally racing, to navigate tight corners or make fast maneuvers. It requires skill and control to avoid losing control of the vehicle.
Example

Performing a handbrake turn requires precise timing and coordination between the driver 's hands and feet.
Learning to control a car during a handbrake turn takes practice and understanding of vehicle dynamics.
