A picture issued as part of a feature package on 25 October 2010 shows a car spinning at the Drift Africa Driver Search event held in the parking area of an industrial park in Cape Town, South Africa, 19 September 2010. Spinning is one of the newest and grittiest forms of motor sport on the African continent. The art of rotating wheels and vehicles at high speed making a car spin and melt or burn its tyres in a complex dance like movement across a designated spinning patch whilst the driver performs unique and daring stunts even emerging from the vehicle whilst it is in rapid motion. Almost every weekend spinning drivers from across Cape Town gather in vacant parking lots and industrial areas and spin their vehicles to the cheers of captivated crowds.
