Howto? Initial 180 deg turns Spa and Nürnbergring with a heavy car?

I don't get it. For the almost-180 degrees turnaround after the start straight in Spa and Nürnbergring, what do you do if you want to preserve momentum?

I usually do a very hard braking, throw the car around almost in place (with gas if it can understeer) and then step on it from a very low speed (but properly aimed car).

That works for the light cars that I usually drive, but there must be a better way for cars that are heavy and just spend too much time burning energy while sliding around on the tires (or what's left of the tires after 2 laps).

Anybody got some insight?
 
Maybe you could tell us your exact car and track combination you use plus Temperatures and Grip level (and maybe assists)?
Also a video (or replay file) showing your problems would be very helpful.
If you can't make a video, we can do a video. Either with our own driving or from your replay file.

It feels that this Thread won't progress from this point without video "evidence" :)
