In general handbrake turns are slower than actually driving properly.Â
But they are fun and do look impressive.
Back when I was actively autocrossing I was sharing a Caterham 7 with
another fellow. He had a good, solid hit on a couple of cones and bent
a fender. We quickly worked on car to get the fender away from the
tire, I jumped in to take my turn. Green flag drops, I take off and
think that the cone damage may have been more that just the fender, the
car feels sluggish and not as responsive as it was my previous run. I
finish the course with a pretty slow time, pull over to our spot and
notice a distinctive aroma. Turns out I forgot to release the handbrake
when I went to make my run. Oops.
