Default Ackermann

Hi there

Got some ?īs for ya:

On Sat I was out on the track and played with the ackermann setting. I could not improve my laptimes with the different settings but ended up wondering what we can achive by using the different options.
First, the X was in short wheelbase config and I started off with the A ackermann. Car was easy to drive. Then I changed to C, the car became more nimble and reacted faster to steering inputs. It seemed to me that it carried more corner speed from turn in to apex, but pushed more on throttle after apex. Just my imagination or does this makes sense from a technical standpoint as well?
How is the "jacking" effect of the front inside wheel affected?
Is the change from A to C giving more ore less ackermann effect? What do you guys usually run with the X in short config?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Stefan
