This isn't really anything to do with Tuning, and is'nt a Race Report so I posted it here.
Awhile ago I went to see a Mini stunt show performed by Russ Swift, I was thinking of it a few days ago, and thought if I could perform any tricks/stunts on Gran Turismo 4.
So, I modified my Mini Cooper S, and took to the Test Course, I found once you know what to do, it can perform a few pretty cool moves.
The Donut it a very easy move, it takes hardly any practising.
From a standing start, turn as far left or right as your DS2 or DPF will allow you, do this before accelrating at all. After steering, use full accelration, the car should start turning in circles with smoke coming out of the inside front tyre.
To finish the move, just pull out of a Dount and drive off, your tires may be smoking as you drive away.
The 180 Spin is an easy move once you have the hang of it, and learning it isn't very hard either.
For this move, do not go out of gear 1, redlining gear 1 makes it easier, as always, start turning left and right to built up momentum, this won't take very long, when you think you have enough momentum, take a sharp turn either left or right, when your very nearly at 180 degrees (around 155 degrees), let of the accelerator and start reversing, you should need to turn at all to keep in control. Reverse in a straight line to finish the move, to make it look better, after reversing for a few seconds, flick the car around and drive forwards again.
One of the tricks that can go wrong in quite a few ways, you can mess up the spin and hit a barrier or wall, or when bringing the car back into control, you can spin out.
Gain a speed of over 100 Mph, or 160 Kmh, drive to either side of the track, I reccomend going to the right which is what I did, I can explain easier from there.
When at speed, turn right so your nearer the track center, and start turning left and right, start turning lightly, but keep making the turns sharper and sharper, until your drifting the car sideways, then, make one sharp and hard turn, keep the accelration on and keep turning, when your nearly at 180 degrees, start reversing, your car will go backwards but at an angle, flick the car around by turning, you may start going sideways again, but you can easily control this, drive straight and clean to finish the move.
This trick has to go perfectly the whole way to look good, The Spins will make your Mini spin around at least 5 times before it redlines itself going 10 Mph in gear 3.
To perform the trick you must do what you did with the 360 Spin, accelrate to at least 100 Mph, then start turning left and right, the turns becoming sharper each time, then turn one very sharp turn and keep accelrating and turning, don't do anything else with the gears yet. Your Mini should start spinning around in circle, quite quickly, after it's spun at least 5 times, it will slow down and redline itself, a tip here is to downshift while spinning to gear 1 or 2, it'll help get a better exit.
My Mini Cooper S Modifications.
NA Tune Stage 2.
Port Polishing.
Engine Balancing.
Chip Upgrade.
Racing Exhaust.
Ecomany Tires.
All settings remain stock.
I need to take a few more pictures and write up the tricks, my Max Drive should come soon so I'll post replays aswell

If you need any help I'll be happy to answer your PM's, feel free to send them.
