A burnout in CPM 2 is more than showing off — warming your tires before a drag launch is treated as a required step by competitive drag players, and "perform a burnout" even shows up as a rotating daily task.

How to do a burnout

  1. Use a rear-wheel-drive car with decent power (muscle cars and tuned builds work best).
  2. Hold the brake/handbrake and apply throttle at the same time so the rear wheels spin in place.
  3. Keep the wheels spinning until you see smoke — community drift tutorials recommend fully burning (warming) the tires before a serious run.
  4. Release the brake to launch out of it.

On mobile with tilt controls, manage the throttle smoothly; on PC a gamepad's analog triggers make burnouts easier to control than a keyboard.

When it matters

  • Before drag races: warm tires grip better off the line. Do your burnout, stage at the line, and launch on green — jumping the yellow light twice is an automatic loss. Full rules in the drag racing guide.
  • Drift setups: drifters burn tires down before sessions; builds like the Nissan S13 community drift car rely on it.
  • Daily tasks: when the burnout task appears, any safe stretch of road works — no race required.
