The Victory Lap is a special taunt for all classes.

When activated, the character enters a team-colored bumper car identical to the ones seen in Carnival of Carnage and Gravestone. While taunting, the player can remain still, or move freely in any direction. Movement speed and traction is reduced when using this taunt, and a quiet, humming sound effect loops while it is active. The player can also press primary fire (default key: MOUSE1) to honk the bumper car's horn. Upon ending the taunt, the player stands up, the bumper car almost instantly disappearing, with a quiet, magical "poof" noise.

For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts pages.
