70 mph is a ridiculous speed to claim. 40 maybe, if the care is designed with little or no lean like a Mini Cooper, but absolutely not 70.
I agree, it is nearly impossible to even take the curve at 35mph (except maybe a Corvette). I myself drive a small Chevy Spark and can barely keep 25mph through the entire roundabout without the car tires losing grip and drifting away from my intended lane.

Even with my heavier electric car (Chevy Bolt) can barely take the roundabout at 23mph.

NO WAY a car can do 70mph in a roundabout!
