Ok thanks

I saw at the worlds jilles and elliot had angled and Naoto had flat but to me Naoto car seemed way more aggresive in fact more aggressive than any of the other cars

Would that fit to what you we're perhaps implying with steering akermann/aggression

Isn't akermann if the tires turn the same throughout full range of steering vs. the inside with little akermann turns more?

Thanks

So there's definitely something up with the difference

I guess I'll just have to try both back to back to find out
