^I think another contributor is torque - in autocross, you're almost exclusively exiting corners in 2nd gear, where there is still a lot of torque amplification and can power oversteer pretty easily. In higher gears there might not be enough torque to break the rears so there's still some grip availability and you would want a more oversteering attitude.
