If you'd like *really* simple behaviour, you could always take the
sideways force (which is equal to mass*acceleration) to be proportional
and opposite to the lateral (sideways) component of the velocity
relative to the car. This should allow for some sliding, as the optimal
cornering would be at 45 degrees, and shouldn't look very far off for a
rally car at least.
