and one more:

Once you get the hang of the short drift turn into leaning turn with Death Anchor it's a lot of fun.

DVM, can you post any videos of you doing this stuff? Can you let me in on the secrets of how you do the short drift turn?
Cheers

Hey Kitch it's really not a big deal.
I was racing with the Death Anchor a lot cos it's one of the fastest cars in the game and was getting very furstrated with its turning: sometimes it's as if it would simply 'lock-up' and no matter how hard you steer and lean it just wouldn't turn at all and you crash into the rails. Also the drift turning where you hold down both shoulder buttons while steering didn't really work all the time either and seemed to take lots of speed away with my high-speed setting to the right.
But if you combine the drift with the leaning it works excellent: Just do a split-second drift at the beginning of the corner to unsetlle the balance of the Achor and then you can quickly go into normal leaning left + L or right + R for the rest of the corner. With this you'll have no problem at all to get the Anchor through even the sharpest and tightests of spots and the Staff Ghost suddenly look a lot more 'vulnerable' Almost becomes second nature after just a few hours of practising: so first a very quick L+R+direction and then immediately switch to normal leaning to complete the corner.
Hope this makes sense..
