What I have also been told that the handbrake is also know as a
"Rallye" brake, it can be used to cause the rear end to slide in the
direction the wheels are turned by judicious application, which is
why you can just pull and release. I used it in this manner on very
tight corners in Gymkhanas in the 60s, it works but you need to
practice a little (a lot?) first.
Good Luck
