2 Steady State Circular Test
2.1 This test is scored upon evaluation on such three indexes as lateral acceleration at neutral turning point, an, degree of understeer, U, and side tilt of trunk, Kφ.
2.2 For lower limit values of an, U and Kφ as an60, U60 and Kφ60 and upper limit values as an100, U100 and Kφ100, see Table 1.
