    Default Steering Wheel Ratio

    My current FV has a steering ratio of 12 deg of front wheel movement per 90 deg of steering wheel rotation.

    Does that seem excessive?

    Does anyone have a design basic target for small non winged formula cars?

    Just checked my car and 90 deg. at the steering wheel yields about 5 or 6 degrees at the tire. This should be a bit slower than the stock VW ratio.

    I was considering a change to a larger wheel on my Protofrom P-2 and
    wondered if a simple change in dia. would change much in the way of
    handling via steering input etc.....?
