I let the car steer itself allot more now, with stock caster its really hard to do that.
It has a bit to do with the setup, but I would definitely not say "more" to do with setup. The driver is far more critical in driving smoothly. If that was the case there would be a lot more smooth drivers out there, but there aren't. I mean there's always the decent driver who does a good job of predicting what the car will do and so he isn't trying to force the car into something, but if you watch videos of Taniguchi driving, he might as well be chilling on a couch while driving, he looks like he's hardly doing anything while nailing every entrance, apex and exit.


Interior shots starts at 3 min. Particularly the handbrake entry at 3:25.
