What is power parking?
Power parking means that you use your E-brake to do a 180 degrees turn in between two cars. You will then get an rating on how good your parking was. You will fail the parking if you hit an parked car. You will also fail the parking if one of the car you parked in between was crashed by you or someone else.

Stunt cars are very nice to use for this since they are designed for things like power parking, but you can use whatever car you want. Power parking a bike is not possible since the bikes doesn't have a E-brake. The car I used was a Carson Opus XS stunt car.
How do you perform power parking?
Performing a power parking is not to hard, but getting a good rating is hard. The trick is to get just enough speed to be able to perform an 180 degrees E-brake turn. I personaly recommend to test what speed you need to get to perform an sucesfull 180 E-brake turn. Too much speed will result in an crash and no speed will result in a failed E-brake turn. You toggle the E-brake with "Ctrl" as default.

The best place to perform and power parking in my opinion is Haber street between Root Avenue and Fry Avenue. That part of road have 2 lanes in both direction, light traffic and always a few parked cars on one of the side.

Performing the power parking is done in three simple steps:
  • Find some parked cars.
  • Line up your car with the line that divides the two lanes.
  • Drive forward until the front of your car have drove past the first car and then press and hold the E-brake while turning towards the empty parking. Keep holding the E-brake in about 5 seconds or until an message like bellow appears.
  • You can use the picture bellow to see how I did it.


The power parking failed if no message appeared or if an message says that the power parking wasnt good enough.

The ratings you can get are somewhat simular to this list:
  • [100-96%] Nice.
  • [95-65%] Awsome.
  • [64-40%]Mind the paint.
  • [39% and bellow] Try harder
  • Power parking denied.

Have fun parking :)
