GP2- anybody done a 360 degree donut yet??

Question-

        I am using a T2, no steering help, all the 'sensitivity'
controls set to 0 (just as a test ;) and no matter what I do, the car
only spins around 180.

        Sure I've spun out and done a ton of 360s, but NEVER from a
standing start in 1st gear. I don't know if the problem is on my end,
but if I use manual shift, I can't get the 'turning' gear. Does a real
F1 car have one? I thought the regs said a limit of 7 forward gears-
would a team that uses seven 'real' gears drop the turn gear??

        Just a though.

I find if you turn off the traction control, give it heaps of revs and
drop the cluch, it works rather well...

No, it doesn't. The car just does a 180 degree spin and magically the
spin comes to a halt.
