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?

I think I’m misunderstanding the question.

The actual range of motion of the wheel will always be the same (distance between the rackstops) but can be electronically changed with modern power steering products. I know bmw had one were less input was required at lower speeds to make parking easier.

But the wheel won’t have less rotations at higher speed.

I’m racing games you might feel like you’re getting less steering because you are understeering when you’ve exceeded the available traction on the tire.
