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. -- Stephen Ferguson "There's a madness to my method"

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 :) Paul. /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Paul MacLeod | "Wake up.

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