Classic bootleg turns can be performed only on cars with a manual transmission and are most easily accomplished with a rear-wheel-drive car, as the spinning back wheels aid in the turn. This is because the maneuver is essentially a controlled fishtail-like spin-out. Vehicles with an automatic transmission can be modified to make a bootleg turn ...
Here, a scooter is countersteered to turn left. When countersteering to turn right, the following is performed: [5] [6] A torque on the handlebars to the left is applied. The front wheel will then rotate about the steering axis to the left and the tire will generate forces in the contact patch to the left. The machine as a whole steers to the left.
François Duval performing a handbrake turn with his Citroën Xsara WRC during 2007 Rallye Deutschland.
