    There is no disappointment here. The video demonstrates that a car with twice the cylinders, four times the power, twice the top speed, twice the acceleration and ten times the price is only ... 5% faster on this clever track.

      Even accounting for the "don't wanna break it" factor of the driver, that is beyond impressive

    There's actually no point in skidding rear axle in a car that short. Perhaps Panda could have been faster if driven 'round'. I know that on autocross these small cars are fastest when you drive without oversteer.

      The directors might have made her perform these handbrakes turns and little slides on an untimed lap to make it 'look cool'. On all of the onboard footage you can see she is driving properly. As for the Ferrari, I think it is genuinely a little bit beneficary if you lose traction on the rear wheels after coming out of a tight hairpin, since road tyres allow you to take a lot of slip and you can use a lot more power as opposed to keeping it clean.

      ​@@potatogirlcultist19 It is very specific to a car. In rear wheel drive cars for example, especially long and narrow, the fastest way of going through tight corners, is to initiate skidding of rear wheels even before the corner, have front wheels pointed straight at all times, totally end the oversteer at exit, trying to achieve 4-wheel drift, which in 50-50 balanced rwd meant using grip of all wheels to maximum. It can be observed in 70s and 80s footage from rallies where they all go 'just a little bit sideways'. Panda is a different story, because it's front wheel drive with 70% of weight at front axle. It means that it's impossible to break grip of rear tires without slowing the car down, because front wheels are overloaded relative to the the rear, while in rear wheel drive car a bit of oversteer serves preserving the speed.
      Also, Panda is very short relative width, which means it doesn't need to slide the rear to change direction just as rapidly or more even rapid than a much longer rwd. It also means that there isn't that much weight distribution at braking, so you can delay braking. In rally techniques books, even those extensively covering techniques of fast driving RWD in rallies and using oversteer to advantage, I repeatedly found remarks, that in cars which are very short relative to the width, handbrake should never be used even in 180 degrees turns because for such cars it's a slower method, and it can only be used to counter unexpected heavy understeer when a car may fall off the road, or to increase braking force of rear axle if we rally a car with standard brake bias corrector because stock cars have weaker than optimal rear brakes force to make them easier to control (the books I learnt from are old enough to not cover ABS).
