While this is true, the difference is skidpad oversteer is expected and induced where oversteer on the track is usually a surprise so there is the element of surprise that separates the skidpad from the track. Skidpad definitely helps however there are other elements involved which generally comes with confidence and experience. The best aid in either scenario is hard tires.
