Jack,
You hit the nail on the head. The students need to feel over/under steer. The skid pad is a safe place for the instructors to demonstrate cause and effect. All new students should be required to go on the skid pad before entering the track, if the skid pad is available at the facility.
Chris,
A little exercize to show that it is not only speed that can affect outcomes. Pick any corner at any track, and note your speed at turn in, apex and track out. Next lap go down the straight at your turn in speed, turn in at that same speed without using your brakes, match the speeds at apex and track out if you make it hock:.
More is coming,
Eric
