What's about this red light inside the cabin of hamond's zonda?, when he was exiting the parking lot and his clutch was smoking.

We already knew that about Porsche owners. Now we know they were at the receiving end.

I don't understand. Why would it be smoking in the first place? Unless of course he left engaged....

I think because the handbrake wasn't working so to keep the car still on the hill... he just left it right at the friction point

This light was a sort of a warning?, it also flashed later in the mountains when hammond's car started to oversteer on a corner.

my guess is that he's just a lazy ass :p... I do that as well if I get lazy on the hill in a jam... just use the clutch and throttle to hold the car still images/smilies/biggrin.gif.
Or actually... it might just have been cuz the clutch was cold and it was being tortured

OK, to be clear, you can see it at 53:05, red light flashes in the back of the cabin.

Why should he not use the brakes while oversteering? I think it was kind of a panic reaction, rather than putting a lot of power down to make a powerslide of it.
Let's go through it like this:

45:00 - You see Hammond driving up towards the garage door. No lights on the Zonda.
45:01 - Switches to cockpit view of the Zonda. Red lights clearly in the background.
45:04 - Rear view of the Zonda. Now his brake lights are on.
45:08 - The brake lights go off for a brief moment, then go on again.
45:09 - Switch to cockpit view again. You see Richard trying to use his handbrake, and the red lights clearly flash like they did in the rear view.
45:25 - You see cockpit brake-lights I was talking about. That's what's causing the red images/smilies/smile.gif

It's that "simple" images/smilies/lol.gif - Are you convinced now?
