Also, I was playing Q3 today, and it occurred to me that when you hit a "twister" and get turned sideways, it looks a lot like when you do the JDT. Has anyone tried using the twisters to their advantage, twisting sideways before a dash plate and treating it like a JDT? __________________________________________________________________________________________
To answer the question: I have!!!
I can't remember exactly where it is that I pulled this off But there are 2 twist plates that if you hit the first one you will get sent into the second one and the second one straightens you out on to the straight away. It works all most like a dash plate (You just need to have decent turning control when you come out of the second twist plate)

How convenient. 
To be honest, hitting the twist plates probably won't gain you any time advantage anyway.

I happen to have used the Twisters a few times myself..but I didn't do it on purpose, it was just an 'accident'...in some way, by steering into some of the Twisters, I manages to lean my car sideways without losing speed, and still going round a curb..weird.

About the twist plates and gaining speed. It does depend which angle you hit the twist plate at though. If you hit it right it actually does gain you a little speed. When I did this it was on the last lap and my time was3 seconds better. So I tried this technique around all 5 laps I got around 3 of the laps, however my overall time was still about 5-6 seconds better than my previous time. So I then proceeded to do the track again without the technique and my overall time was about 10 seconds worse than with the technique.
