Im one of the few people where I live who prays for snow every year.
Just so I can go out and mess around in the car!.

I used to scare the crap out of my (now ex) wife...
By doing reverse handbrake turns out of my garage in the snow. When I did a double, and missed the basketball pole by barely a few inches, that was the end of that particular breed of fun.

Exactly!
Gun it in reverse out of the garage, slip the car into neutral when you have enough inertia, handbrake, wheel hard to the left, let the front spin around the locked back wheels, and drop into first and give her the beans. Much fun to be had by all as you pirouette around the driveway in the snow.

I hate to be the one to point it out
But you are looking at something that was shot over a much longer period.There are more than 3 wheel changes during this footage...the most obvious being the one straight after the exit from the pit lane.Hey presto!..Concave rims become convex rims.It also happens on the return to the garage & in a couple of other spots of cornering.Still impressive footage, but not the 6:49 snowy lap as the video would have us believe.
