You think there’s a reason why all race cars bolt their steering rack to the chassis???.....
When you are racing.....we concentrated on being right on the apex of the turn....not 3” away.....so you can’t have any movement in the steering rack.
If you are off the apex ....you will scrub speed and not get around the corner at speed.....so turn-in is a major part when negotiating a corner.....
No movement is allowed on the rack.
