LOL, I once drove a GS430 on a lexus test event kind of like that.
You could smell the rubber when we parked the car back at the event

Got video?
Sure it wasn't a valet driver???
Nice pictures! Finally getting more real life test driving

Anybody else think that's a lot of body roll for such a small/easy burnout?

Not really. Doesn't look like a small easy burnout in the pic where it looks like it might flip. Looks like it was going fast, doing some drifting manuever and some furious counter-steering taking place.
