Stick or Porsche PDK, there is no brake lights after taking off from the light. As he floats it sideways there is no light up of his taillights, or brake light bar in the rear window.

He only taps his brakes going OVER the median, not before (0:16)

After he gets back in his own lane, and tries to drive away the embarrassment with more throttle (no brake lights through this bit either). The partially broken spindle became fully snapped.
