There have been some reports that wheelspin is hard to come by in
F1CS2K even with all aids turned off, but be advised that you can turn
of all the driving aids using the function keys EXCEPT for the "Driving
Assistance" aid.
I already have the full version so I haven't checked out the demo yet
to verify that this applies there as well, but in the full version,
the "Driving Assistance" aid does NOT have a function key assigned, and
it can ONLY be turned off from the "Difficulty" menu:

This REALLY tripped me up when I first got the game, as recounted in my
preview on the BHMS site
(http://www.bhmotorsports.com/reviews/f1cs5.jpg):
"I found that - much to my dismay - F1CS2K did indeed feel too tame.
From a standing start, spins seemed impossible, even with one tire in
the grass. At speed, things were a bit better, but not up to F1 2000
standards, and I found that the physics model felt more along the lines
of GP3, in fact. Which isn't bad, mind you, and I began to suspect
(fear) that EA had instructed ISI to emulate Crammond's physics
modeling with their latest effort. More and more laps at various tracks
further confirmed that F1CS2K's physics were not performing up to the
level of what I had experienced in F1 2000, which prompted me to
promptly fire off an e-mail to ISI to find out if I was doing something
wrong.
"Much to my relief, I learned that I was indeed doing something wrong --
although I thought I had turned off all the assists, I had failed to
disable one critical item. It seems that ISI has added a "Driving
Assist" function, and although I had taken care of the braking,
steering, and spin recovery, and other assists, I had left the "Driving
Assist" item enabled. What I discovered - the hard way - was that
the "Driving Assist" does effectively "dumb down" the driving model,
making F1CS2K feel more along the lines of GP3, NFS:PU, or F1WGP, and
less like the lively, active physics model in F1 2000. Once I disabled
the Driving Assist, F1CS2K came alive"
Now, EVERYBODY go CHECK THE DIFFICULTY MENU TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
THE "Driving Assistance" TURNED OFF!
