Was it a deliberate skid or was he going that fast that it took over 2 hours to stop? I've heard them scoobie doo's don't have the best braking in the world!

Simon de Banke (or Webmaster to this lot) managed a controlled power-slide for a total of 2hrs 11mins & 18secs to set a recognised Guiness World Record in 2001 at MIRA in Northampton
That is the equivalent of going from London to Swindon on the M4 - Sideways

What still gets me about SdB's record is he did it on the same set of tyres. Over 2 hours isn't bad tyre life for full-on sideways action ...

I thought skidding and power sliding were two completely different things?
Not to detract from SDB's achievment in anyway of course, more FHM's understanding of car control

FHM are right, it's a power-slide, since the sideways action is held under power. A skid is unpowered. If SDB had managed a 2 hour skid, he'd have had to be going pretty fast to start off with.

I don't have a copy of FHM in front of me, so the only reference point I have is the pic posted earlier, which said 'power slide'.
