No, unlike wmB at al, the Q gives you a very distinctive and progressive warning
and is very easily correctable (provided, you have the good tires). I suggest you
go on one of the Q club track events. It is the only safe way to explore your
car's behaviour at the limit. You would be AMAZED how much further that limit
actually is from where you expected it to be on a Q.
