How to do a burnout in an automatic

Imagine you’re at a car meet with friends, the ambient sounds of engines revving and tires screeching set the perfect backdrop for some lighthearted competition. You’ve seen others performing burnouts, tire smoke filling the air, and adrenaline racing through your veins as you ponder if you have what it takes to join in on the fun. But there’s a catch: you drive an automatic car and need to know the best way to execute a burnout without damaging your vehicle. Don’t worry; this guide will walk you through the steps necessary to achieve that thrilling moment you’ve been dreaming of.

To do a burnout in an automatic car, firmly press the brake pedal with your left foot while gradually pressing the accelerator with your right foot until the rear tires start to spin, then release the brake slightly to allow the power to push the car forward and create tire smoke.

For a more detailed approach, start by ensuring that your car is in a safe and controlled environment, like an empty parking lot. First, engage the ‘Drive’ or ‘Sport’ mode in your automatic transmission; this will allow you to apply more power. Next, firmly press the brake pedal with your left foot; this will hold the car in place while allowing the rear wheels to spin. With your right foot, slowly begin to press the accelerator until you hear the engine rev up; this is where you can feel the power build. Once you reach a threshold where the tires begin to spin, slightly release the brake. This allows the car to move forward while maintaining the burnout. Be cautious not to overdo it, as maintaining control is crucial. Always remember to keep an eye on your vehicle’s temperature gauge; prolonged burnouts can lead to overheating. With practice, you’ll be able to master a burnout that impresses your friends!
