Nah, if he was good the gates would be tight and close and he wouldn't need to be driving a hypo Subaru.
Clarkson drives like that on Top Gear the difference is that Clarkson admits it's all show and he doesn't pretend it's a race course.

car is still 4wd, prolly just running a 65/35 centre diff.
handbrake is hydraulic, not cable, and still on the rear axle.
