Have you ever witnessed a car spinning event? What do you think makes BMWs, particularly the 'Gusheshe,' so iconic in this world? And would you ever try your hand at it—or is watching from the sidelines more your speed? On tonight’s weird and wonderful feature, we dive into the fascinating world of car spinning. Born in South African townships, car spinning is a thrilling motorsport where skilled drivers perform stunts, spins, and doughnuts, all to the roar of cheering crowds. Starting out as a form of entertainment to being associated with gangsterism, the perception of car spinning has shifted as the sport gained legitimacy and attracted drivers and fans who were not involved in crime, focusing instead on the skill and entertainment value of the stunts. To tell us more about it we are joined by Shaun Holland, Multimedia specialist at The Citizen News and Founder and creator of Skid Marks.
