J Turn Possible on a CTM ALL4?

J Turn Possible on a CTM ALL4?

I was wondering if it's possible? Do you have to turn the DSC off?

I mean if it was an emergency situation, you wouldn't have time to turn the DSC off. Would it work with the DSC on?

Anything is possible, as well as rolling it over, and over stressing the drive system.

Play it safe dont be stupid.

Hard breaking while turning steering wheel will do the trick.
Will be easier if DSC is off.

The DSC in the MINI is very efficient and will not let you do a J-turn unless you turn it off, even under very slippery conditions such as snow. All that will happen is the car will slow down as you make a controlled turn. Totally boring.

I found I could do it turning off DSC/DTC on a grassy field - drifting and J-turn are fun under those conditions. It's harder on the dirt. I haven't tried it on snow yet.
