Hi guys, i’ve noticed in racing games and in real life that the faster you go the less you are able to turn the steering wheel, why is this?

You probably can, but you most certainly shouldn’t at high speeds.
At high speeds the momentum of the car in the forward direction is very large so even if you manage to turn the wheels and turn the car, the momentum will carry it in the same direction (which is now sideways) and probably tip and roll your car.
