In which case the last thing in the world you'd want is a rearward weight distribution as it would just push then break away at the back so violently that you'd stand little chance of catching it ..... which mens you couldn't lean on the car and push hard which means slow lap times!
On high grip surfaces, especially if you have a lot of steering reaction, you want the back end to be stable. A slightly more forward weight distribution will give a more progressive and predictable break from the rear and in particular a more progressive transfer of load across the diagonals as the car enters / leaves the corner.
Part of the reason I am looking at the BX is that it has a relatively forward weight distribution (compared with a BJ4WE for example) and sensible inboard camber link positions which should mean that the car can be set up to be VERY predictable.
