Huh? Lateral traction and driver skills have little to do with speed... Yes, I might have seen loss of control at higher speeds, but probably not by the end of the excercise. Added speed does not aid in the learning of the techniques. We can achieve the same G loads at lower speeds by confining the distances the motions occur in and incraease safety at the same time. At those speeds, we typically have the lane toss setup with only 2 car lengths or so for the lane change.
And the vast majority of cars at Audi events in the groups that do excercises are mostly stock on street tires.
I don't care about "most people" who don't know how to drive, I am talking about people who do, and have the skills/training.
