Doughnuts :)

OK, maybe this is childish, but I want to do doughnuts in IndyCar, especially
after seeing Mansell cloak his car in tire smoke after a practice session last
year at Firebird (??).  All I can manage are feeble little 180 spins by turning
away from where I want to go, then jumping on the gas and cranking the joystick
over.  Smokes the back tires for about 90 degrees of the arc, but I can't
sustain it.  I can string together a bunch of these 180's, but it's just not
the same :)  Same thing in World Circuit with the steering help off... just a series
of lazy 180's.

With World Circuit try setting heaps of front wing and NO rear wing at all.
Hammer into a corner and keep the gas on. Usually works :)

  Gotta be a way to do it in IndyCar. I just slammed into the pit wall at
Long Beach doing 160. I spun 3 times. It wasn't fun. Try it in the dirt!
