Would cornering on a road course be different than cornering in AX? One can generate big lateral Gs on a road course around a very long radius corner if driving fast enough. That would mean the caster is almost insignificant, due to minimal steering input. In AX, a LOT of steering input would be required to generate the same lateral load due to the slower speeds, therefore making the caster a much more significant variable.
Thoughts?
