You have to change the gears until a bendy arrow appears. (An arrow that goes up then U turns back again) Rob

It is only available if you have steering help on. I hope this helps. -- John Twitchell Lynnwood, WA "I'm lost, and I've gone to look for myself."

The "power turn gear" is only available (and necessary) with steering help on. You can do a real-life power turn, however, with joystick or wheel control. Switch off traction control (F7), accelerate slightly turning in one direction, then turn full in the other direction and go to full throttle - voila, at least a 180 deg power turn! Sometimes, it's more like 360 deg, though. Like the real-life pendant, the simulated power turn requires a lot of practise, but you don't have to pay for the tire sets. :) -- "per aspera ad absurdum"

The "power turn" gear is good for Spa's first corner:) Mark

I've also found that with my T2 setup, I can pull completely back on my gearshift and hold it there and it engages the clutch. I just give it full throttle (even with F7 on) and I can power turn all day long! In fact it's too easy to over-do it! Anyone else out there found the same method?

I do power turns all the time w/out the "turn" gear. Just shift to 1st, turn the wheel, & give her full throttle. Like you said though, you can over-cook it if you don't let off at the right time.
