So, I've been playing Italian Job on my XBOX for about a week on and off now & I've noticed my actual real life driving is getting more and more aggressive and my BRG MCS wants me to push harder - so I do- and I fear I'm going to get into trouble and she keeps begging for more & then I realize my windshield isn't the TV and my hands are on a steering wheel not a game controller and I say to myself... If I can only beat this level I can unlock the BRG MC and tool around Hollywood & L.A. recklessly...

My question is... if I pull the handbrake and cut the wheel at high speed can I actually do donuts!?!

 

:smile: :smile: :smile: Ask Mr. Motor

 

Yes you can do donuts! Just try not to hit any trees or lightpoles

 

I don't play video games except when I go home and play my sisters Dig Dug, but one reality of videogames is that they have destroyed the fabulous pinball market.. Ok, that is a crappy thing to say, what I mean is my pinball machines have become instant classics. Espically the old wooden ones. I need to get my hands on that Starsky & Hutch one!!

 

I have both Shox and IJ for PS2 and I have learned two things....

1. If I drove like that in real life my MINI would be toast and I would be dead.
2. My son is NEVER going to drive my MINI

-->Zappa, I love pinball machines, especially with the old-style rollover scoring, wish I had one (and a place to put one for that matter)...you obviously have great taste is entertainment as well as music..."you are what you is..."

 

Oh...BTW in the game you can also do "reverse" donuts--cut the steering to one side, apply full reverse and the handbrake...

Have you tried playing with a steering wheel and pedal controller...very addictive, I love the circuit racing!

 

in reality, if the road is cover with small sands or dust, or wet surface you can do a donuts. most road is harder to do since the material they use now is try to grab the tire better.

Make sure that you starts accelerating once you turning to one side. the tire will give better traction control to the car, so you can make you donuts other wise it could be a ( or a ). haha
make sure you release the hand break after. haha just kidding.

It is scary in reality. you could flip over. try to go to one of those driving school. they can let you play around with their cars. in atlanta GA they let you play with Audi A3!!

 

Just FYI: I was at Best Buy and picked up a free game preview catalog- at long last, the MINI will be included in the next version of Gran Turismo! :smile:

 

I like racing the MCS in Project Gotham Racing and I know what you mean. I've told my wife not to allow me to get into the MINI within an hour of playing PGR. It's a bad influence.
