Typically instead of a standard burnout at a set of lights or a stop sign, or perhaps at an intersection in front of a small group of people, “circle work” is kept for such occasions when a large group of people is available to view the display. The vehicle owner doesn’t just do a burnout. They try to burn that clutch and tyre tread down as much as possible whilst slowly spinning the car in circles so they can still a) view the audience, and b) not choke to death on the clouds of rubber smoke being churned up from the tyres.
They have degenerated into muddy, rum-soaked, all-night drinking sessions, complete with circle work by hungover ute drivers the following morning.
