It's all part of the fun; cadence accelerating over slippery road crowns to VTEC past artics was the order of the nice weather today.
The trick is to balance all the inputs, so the vehicle is neither accelerating nor decelerating and you either power/brake OR turn, don't do both at once: a tyre only has so much Mu, so you can only have force in one direction at a time.
Basically, it's like driving on the limits on a dry track, only it's all a lot slower & more gentle.
They ought to teach this stuff...
