Indeed. With the not so powerfull Porsches, you can do it by just
turning the wheel to one side, pulling handbrake and releasing gas at
the same time, and dropping the handbrake after the first 180 part of
the turn.

But with the GT1, you have to turn the wheel the other side halfway,
else it doesn't work. Besides, it's easier this way too.

You can do some very cool driving this way!

I found the easiest to be drive in full speed, then pull hand brake (no
brakes) and then the car just spins 360. Kind of silly, but works best.
