To clarify for Bayliss. When you state I was wrong about the road tyre thing above, I was writing that in response to Mr Zollo's comment that it was weird that shit road tyres could be better on track than good road tyres. I wasn't referring at all to slicks there.

With regard to Northy's comment on sliding on slicks, I thought I'd said that it's likely to happen on cars like Martin had. It's a combo of higher and softer suspension along with very little weight. Basically the horixontal force exerted when sideways will be transferred to some degree in to a vertical force through the soft suspension. This combined with the higher COG will then conspire to flip the car. Race cars obviously have lower/harder suspension so they have a lower COG and less force is transmitted vertically through the suspension.

I apologise if I didn't make that clear.
