==> physics/skid.s <== For higher speeds (measured at a small distance from the point of initiation of a sharp turn) the fastest way round is to "outside loop" - that is, steer away from the curve, and do a skidding 270. This technique is taught in advanced driving schools. References: M. Freeman and P. Palffy, American Journal of Physics, vol 50, p. 1098, 1982. P.
