Oh yeah, and big sticky tires and high hp RWD is easy to drive to a point. That point being when **ANY** slip angle is involved then it’s all skill (which is how you should be driving, 1-2 degrees). At which point lap times start to vary by about 10-30 seconds on average over a 1:50 second course.

??? are you talking about. **All tires** in dynamic turning operate at slip angles (usually between +/- 0 to 10 degrees).

IIRC max Fy is produced between 2-4 alpha for race tires and 6-8 alpha for street.

10-30 seconds, where does that come from? That is saying a novice is going to be 30 seconds off of lap record? That is extremely poor driving even for the people that drive 10 feet off of an apex.
