Slightly lower geared steering is instructed as standard for EAC.11. The car which you tried in Derby the other day (93-NK) had the lower geared steering. You will remember the shocks on the steering on that car were quite severe. We believe a slightly lower geared steering is an advantage, but too much must not be expected from it.
