GP2- anybody done a 360 degree donut yet??

4 posts by 4 people · 22 Aug 1996 - 29 Aug 1996

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... /> /< There Can Be Only One 0}\\\\\\||::================- \>

No, it doesn't. The car just does a 180 degree spin and magically the spin comes to a halt. -- Mikko Hy?kki I 9400-559126 I When facing stupidity, even gods S?rkitie 10 E I 951-3703610 I themselves are powerless. 45160 KOUVOLA I Les Habitants...
