Steering

The steering system refers to the system of components that allow the driver to control the direction of the vehicle. This includes the steering wheel, steering column, steering rack, tie rods, and other related components.

In open-wheel race cars, steering systems are designed to provide precise and responsive steering, with a focus on minimizing weight and maximizing feedback. The steering column is typically made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum, to reduce weight. The steering rack is designed to provide a direct and precise connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels of the vehicle, allowing the driver to make precise inputs.
