#burnouts

Ferrari has the Chinese government feeling steamed after one person’s actions at a launch event for it’s year-of-the-dragon edition 458 Italia. Evidently, doing donuts on the Great Wall is uncouth. Who knew?

If you’ve ever watched a live sporting event that involved sitting in a grandstand, there’s a good chance you’ve also done the wave — but never like this.

Somewhere in the ballpark (no pun intended) of 20 cars stood side-by-side and smoked their tires as a flag man ran past them, effectively creating two things. First, a brash and badass display of horsepower and roaring engines. Second, the coolest interpretation of “the wave” we’ve ever seen.

It’s not enough to have a medley of roaring engines and tire smoke that could drown out a Motorhead concert at full throttle, but the cloud that ensues is red white and blue in a true patriotic salute to redneck racing. Awesome.
