Lots of lock is important, but to win anything you need to be able to drift at higher speeds than everyone else (as once in the last 16 its basically a race), so huge amounts of grip are important, so its the same basic principles as a circuit car.

Good example is the Yoshio Factory D1 S15 has done a 59sec lap of Tsukuba Circuit, a McLaren F1 has only managed 1min 4sec at best.
