When I pull out of the pits in n2 all i get is tire squel sound it
doesn't make the rear end swing around or make smoke or fluctuate the
rpms.  Is there a way to solve this? or is it the right way?

Make sure the graphics are turned on (smoke option) because it does
smoke when I do it.  It will also turn around, so try this:  come to a
complete stop and cut the wheel or joystick all the way left or right,
then floor it and hold the gas.  It will spin.  This is very useful for
when you are pointed 180 degrees the wrong direction...  My tach does
redline when I smoke the tires, but I don't know why yours wouldn't.

All in all, the wheelspin is not as good as that of Grand Prix II, but
this is a killer game nonetheless!

HI. I found that I could get out of my pit easier by spinning the
tires a little and turning the wheel. Also lets you turn car around on
track easier.

If you are using a digital control (key or button) for accelerator,
you must DOUBLE TAP (press, release, press and hold) to get wheel
spin.

If you are using an anlog controller, just NAIL it.

Hold on the first time, as the car is going to be more squirrelly than
you've ever seen. You can get a handle on it fairly quickly though.
Might want to try it out in practice a few times before you need it in
a race though...

Assuming you're using a joystick (it seems to be automatic with pedals),
you need to double-click the accelerate button and then the third press
of the button will "turn on" the wheel spin...

Actually all you need is two clicks. Hold down on second click
and wheels will spin.

Me too. I noticed this new feature very quickly as a result. Otherwise
it's nigh on impossible to get out of some of the pits without
reversing. Mind you, I haven't bothered trying to fiddle with wheel
lock either...

I love the way the revs race up and the car weaves about. Great stuff.

I've noticed that I only get wheel spin when I turn the turbo on on my
joystick.

You must "double tap" the accelerator to get wheels with button
accelerator. That's probably what your turbo button does (repeatedly
presses and releases the button).

You should turn off the turbo feature, as it might cause the game to
believe you are constantly on and off the throttle and thus won't give
you full power...
