I thought that my motorenglish was pretty >good but ? :) A skidpad is a 'special' piece of flat asphalt that they test cars on. Drive a car in a tight circle at a fast enough speed and it will eventually break away from the surface. They measure the G force you can hit up to the point of breakaway and use it for comparison from car to car. It's probably somewhat valid but is closely linked to tire stickiness, which can often be tuned by using better tires than the manufacturer uses. Bob
