Actually the night before, I was with my friend and our wives in the respective private parking lot. I did 3 complete (360) perfect circles before mistakenly gaining adherence again. It was too dark for phone video and no other cameras with us.
So we asked the parking attendant if we can return next day at 6 am with cameras and redo the tricks. He said no problem, but no cameras policy was enforced in the parking.

So we decided to hide them in a car and shot from another car window. Also we never shot anything that may upset the owners. We returned and after first session, one rear tire was already blown away. Anyway it was very hard to mantain wheel power slipage. As probably can be seen from pictures, the surface was composed from two types of asphalt, one very rough. As soon as back wheels hit that I iregained grip. Probably the previous day, it helped a lot, having two passengers in back seats.
Funny thing is I stopped at the request of private security officers there because everything around was full of smoke. I left the parking lot, without stopping and when I was to exit the parking lot, I noticed in the rear view mirror some thick smoke hovering over the rear window. Very odd I thought. So I drove very slowly ahead, when some smoke entered the cabin. Then I heard some voices outside and...
I PANICKED. At that moment I thought my tires are in fire and I did not have an extinguisher in my car. I went out of the car in panic and tried to stop some cars, thinking where I can drive the car out of the road. When I looked at rear wheels, no smoke at all. They were hot but not smoking.
The smoke was from my booth. Apparently it entered there somehow...

They also wore just like the OEM Dunlop SP2000e's on my 540iS, causing a high-speed blowout--when my alignment was out.

Alright, alright, you're going to have to tell us step by step how you did those circles with a step tranny and some worn out tires.
