uptill now I succeeded in doing a 360 quite easily by shifting down to 2nd gear, turn in sharply, hit the hand break, release the handbrake and turn the wheel to the opposite site. But now with the GT1 this doesn't seem to work. It only does a 270 or something like that. What's the right technique??? Gr. Dogge

Go in faster. I found that the higher speed was necessary to get it to spin fully. Get as much speed as you can coming out of the cones before the 360. Otherwise the technique is the same. Good luck. Marc

Had the same problem. The game doesn't care if the 360 is really beautiful. Just do the 270 and turn the final 90 (and a bit more) (driving forwards) before exiting the cone area. The game will accept it as a 360. -- Anssi

Actually, it is easy but requires a different approach from the other cars. Start the the 360 the same as you would with other cars and then once you have completed 180 degrees turn the steering wheel opposite lock quickly and drive through it.

Its a little bit harder. What you need to do is try and get your speed up as high as possible (given) and then turn in like you would normally to do the 360. Hit the hand brake and when you get between 180 degrees and 270 degrees or so and start to feel the car gaining grip again, turn the wheel to opposite lock and get on the throttle again. That should kick it back around for you to complete the 360. Scott PA-Scott PowerSims.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Yup, the trick seems to be to keep the rears turning.... I succeeded by letting it do a 180 while shifting down to first, keeping the throttle floored and completing the 360 by power spinning it back round the remaining 180. Try doing it from an outside view so you can see when you're inside the cones... failed a couple of times due to starting the spin too early. Nearly there Patrick, keep at it.
