Context is key here. And this and the original post are taking the subject way way out of it.
No - because Terry Grant is a stunt driver, and the act of performing a doughnut would be part of his entertainment.

But - when a professional car driver performs a doughnut, or any other stunt, it would usually be accompanied by a message that it was carried out in controlled conditions and should not be tried at home.

This was not a deliberate stunt performed by a driver - this was a major star in BTCC (some would argue a household name) pictured using a mobile phone whilst at the controls of a car. Whatever context it is in, it surely is not the right message to send to spectators?
