Hmm, I think that the few moments where there is understeering are down to icy or very slippery road taken with a considerably higher than safe apex speed.

That's good for Monte.

Can You explain why do You think so?

Eeh-eh, let me try - because oversteering in very-very slippery conditions is very-very bad. Kind of the enemy of your enemy is my friend.

Probably Lundefaret can make much more educated analysis (and possibly prove me wrong).

Let's take it different way. Both oversteering and understeering are negative behavior. It's not like there are only two options, the good one is neither one of them. Understeering is for sure the safer bad thing as it is easier to predict especially for amateurs and it also secures better way of crashing (by front) but I somehow doubt that the general rule applies also for WRC drivers.

Anyway on ice with short studs or without studs at all I think that every 4x4 car sufferes from some understeering at the apex and oversteering at the exit simply because of very low level of grip (I admit that my only experience with studs on ice is from go-karts but with them the behavior was exactly like that - understeering at the apex becoming oversteering at the exit).
