South African Car Spinners (1x1)

Air date: Jun 06, 2016

It was born on the streets of apartheid South Africa, and it's now a legitimate, insanely popular motorsport. It's car spinning, where - in the townships around Johannesburg - old BMWs carve out ballet-like moves in special, purpose-built arenas. There are no prizes; it’s all about show and reputation. Fail to please the crowds and you’re booed off. Elvis wants to give the fans something different, something they’ve never seen before – a Formula 1-style pit stop. But this manoeuvre is new for Elvis’s crew. Can they execute in front of the toughest audience of all – the spinning fans of downtown Jo’burg?
