Skidpad
Circular area of flat pavement used for various tests of a car's handling / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A skidpad or skidpan[1] is a circular area of flat pavement used for various tests of a car's handling. The most common skidpad use is testing lateral acceleration, measured in meters per second squared (m/s2) or the scaled unit g-force. This usage has similarities to that of using a kick plate.[2]
