Note the yaw dynamics are drastically different from 1 degree to 90 to 180. The peak lifting forces are occuring in the 90 range and diminish at 180. So the lift you'll see at say 90 is potentially much higher, hence the difference in the critical take off speed of 500 km/h for 180 degrees vs. some 282 at 90 (don't quote me on the 90 figure, thinking off the top of my head as I don't have my notes with me at work). And again, these numbers are all dependant on how much roll is in the car
and its ride height. The numbers quoted above are for 4 degrees of roll and a 55/45 ride height (ie slightly nose up).
