My textbook says : "The friction force on a car turning a corner does no work."
I agree somewhat. However, if there is no work, there is no change of speed, aka no change of kinetic energy.
How can a car in a real-life stop if it is doing perfect circles with forces pointing towards the center of those circles?
Is there another component of friction in play?
